2 Reyes 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 2:3

And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel
Or the disciples of them, as the Targum; here, though a place where one of Jeroboam's calves was set up, was a school of the prophets, perhaps founded by Elijah as a nursery for religion, and a check upon the idolatry of the times:

came forth to Elisha; out of their college: and said unto him, knowest
thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head today?
who was, as Abarbinel observes, the crown and glory of his head; or else this is said, as generally thought, in allusion to disciples sitting at the feet of their masters, and so they at the head of them; the rapture of Elijah was by a spirit of prophecy revealed unto them:

and he said, yea, I know it;
being revealed to him in the same way:

hold your peace:
not caring to continue any discourse with them on the subject, that his thoughts, which were intent upon it, might not be interrupted, and that his master might not know that he knew of it, and lest he should be snatched away from him, and he not see him, while discoursing with them.

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.

—Quédate aquí, porque el Señor
me dijo que fuera a JericĂł.

AsĂ­ que continuaron juntos a JericĂł.

—¿Sabías que hoy el Señor
se llevará a tu amo?
—Claro que lo sé —contestó Eliseo—, ¡pero no digan nada!
