Kings II 2:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 2:20

And he said, bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein
One that had never been used, that it might not be thought that the virtue was owing to anything that had been, or was, put into it:

and they brought it to him;
the pot with the salt in it.

Kings II 2:20 In-Context

18 And there were there the three sons of Saruia, Joab, and Abessa, and Asael: and Asael was swift in his feet as a roe in the field.

19 And Asael followed after Abenner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abenner.

20 And Abenner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asael himself? and he said, I am.

21 And Abenner said to him, Turn thou to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold for thyself on one of the young men, and take to thyself his armour: but Asel would not turn back from following him.

22 And Abenner said yet again to Asael, Stand aloof from me, lest I smite thee to the ground? and how should I lift up my face to Joab?
