2 Reyes 2:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 2:2

And Elijah said unto Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee
Seemingly unwilling he should go with him, and be present at his assumption; which was either out of modesty, not affecting the spread of the honour and glory to be conferred upon him; or to prevent the grief of Elisha at his departure, or to try whether Elisha knew any thing of it, and what affection he had for him:

for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel;
to give some comfort and some instruction and advice to the college of prophets there:

and Elisha said unto him, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I
will not leave thee;
being determined to see the last of him, and to have the benefit of his company and conversation, his heavenly discourse, and instruction from him as long as he could, and in hope of receiving a blessing from him at parting:

so they went down to Bethel;
together, which, according to Bunting {h}, was six miles.

2 Reyes 2:2 In-Context

1 ElĂ­as llevado al cielo
Cuando el Señor
estaba por llevarse a ElĂ­as al cielo en un torbellino, ElĂ­as y Eliseo estaban en camino desde Gilgal.
2 Y ElĂ­as le dijo a Eliseo:
—Quédate aquí, porque el Señor
me dijo que fuera a Betel.
Eliseo respondiĂł:
—Tan cierto como que el Señor
vive y que tú vives, ¡nunca te dejaré!
AsĂ­ que descendieron juntos a Betel.
3 El grupo de profetas de Betel se acercĂł a Eliseo para preguntarle:
—¿Sabías que hoy el Señor
se llevará a tu amo?
—Claro que lo sé —contestó Eliseo—, ¡pero no digan nada!
4 Entonces ElĂ­as le dijo a Eliseo:
—Quédate aquí, porque el Señor
me dijo que fuera a JericĂł.
Pero Eliseo le respondiĂł de nuevo:
—Tan cierto como que el Señor
vive y que tú vives, ¡nunca te dejaré!
AsĂ­ que continuaron juntos a JericĂł.
5 Después el grupo de profetas de Jericó se acercó a Eliseo para preguntarle:
—¿Sabías que hoy el Señor
se llevará a tu amo?
—Claro que lo sé —contestó Eliseo—, ¡pero no digan nada!
