2 Reyes 4:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:28

Then she said, did I desire a son of my lord?
&c.] It was not at her request she had one, at least the first motion was not from her; the prophet first told her, and assured her she should have one, without her asking for it; she might be pleased with it, and desire the promise might be fulfilled; but it was not an inordinate, importunate, desire of one, in which she had exceeded, that so the taking it away from her might be a correction of her for it:

did I not say, do not deceive me;
by giving hopes of a child, and yet have none; and now it was equally the same, or worse, to have one, and then to have it taken away again as soon as had almost; so the Targum,

``did I not say unto thee, if a child is given me, let it live, if not, do not trouble or grieve me;''

and then, no doubt, she told him plainly the child was dead, and where she had laid it, though not recorded.

2 Reyes 4:28 In-Context

26 Corre a su encuentro y pregúntale: “¿Están todos bien, tú, tu esposo y tu hijo?”».
«Sí —contestó ella—, todo está bien».
27 Sin embargo, cuando ella se encontró con el hombre de Dios en la montaña, se postró en el suelo delante de él y se agarró de sus pies. Giezi comenzó a apartarla, pero el hombre de Dios dijo: «Déjala. Está muy angustiada, pero el Señor
no me ha dicho qué le pasa».
28 Entonces ella dijo: «¿Acaso yo te pedí un hijo, señor mío? ¿Acaso no te dije: “No me engañes ni me des falsas esperanzas”?».
29 Enseguida Eliseo le dijo a Giezi: «¡Prepárate para salir de viaje,
toma mi vara y vete! No hables con nadie en el camino. Ve rápido y pon la vara sobre el rostro del niño».
30 Pero la madre del niño dijo: «Tan cierto como que el Señor
vive y que usted vive, yo no regresaré a mi casa a menos que usted venga conmigo». Así que Eliseo volvió con ella.
