2 Reyes 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:10

And Elisha said unto him, go, say unto him, thou mayest
certainly recover
That is, of the disease; and there was not only a probability that he might recover of it, it not being a mortal one, but a certainty that he should not die of it, as he did not, but die a violent death, which the prophet predicts in the next clause; though some take these words not as a command, what he should say, but as a prediction of what he would say; that he would go and tell him he should certainly recover, because he would not discourage him, though the prophet assures him in the next clause that he should die: there is a various reading of these words; we follow the marginal reading, but the textual reading is, "say, thou shall not certainly recover", or "in living live"; which agrees with what follows:

howbeit
or "for"

the Lord hath showed me, that he shall surely die;
though not of that sickness, nor a natural death, but a violent one, and that by the hand of this his servant, though he does not express it.

2 Reyes 8:10 In-Context

8 el rey le dijo a Hazael: «Llévale un regalo al hombre de Dios. Luego dile que le pregunte al Señor
: “¿Voy a recuperarme de esta enfermedad?”».
9 Entonces Hazael cargó cuarenta camellos con los mejores productos de Damasco para regalarle a Eliseo. Fue a verlo y le dijo:
—Tu siervo Ben-adad, rey de Aram, me ha enviado a preguntarte: “¿Voy a recuperarme de esta enfermedad?”.
10 Eliseo contestó:
—Ve y dile: “Ciertamente te recuperarás”. ¡Pero la verdad es que el Señor
me ha mostrado que morirá!
11 Eliseo se quedó mirando a Hazael
tan fijamente que Hazael se sintió incómodo.
Así que el hombre de Dios se puso a llorar.
12 —¿Qué pasa, mi señor? —le preguntó Hazael.
—Yo sé las cosas terribles que tú le harás al pueblo de Israel —contestó Eliseo—. ¡Quemarás sus ciudades fortificadas, matarás a sus muchachos a filo de espada, estrellarás a sus niños contra el suelo y abrirás el vientre a sus mujeres embarazadas!
