2 Reyes 13:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:20

And Elisha died, and they buried him
In Samaria. Epiphanius says F14, in Sebastopolis of Samaria, Samaria itself was called Sebaste in later times; though the Jews say F15 he was buried in Mount Carmel, in the cave of Elijah; according to the Jewish chronology {p}, he died in the tenth year of Joash, and he prophesied more than sixty years; sixty six, as Abarbinel, since he began to prophesy in the nineteenth year of Jehoshaphat; and, according to Clemens F17 of Alexandria, when he was forty years of age; but it seems rather, as Kimchi observes, that he died in the beginning of the reign of Joash, and even before his father's death, when he was a partner with him in the throne, and before any salvation or deliverance from the Syrians was wrought:

and the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the
year;
at the spring of the year, when there was fruit on the earth, those troops of robbers came to plunder and spoil; several of the Jewish writers observe, that in the word for "coming", (h) is instead of (a) , and so may be rendered "in that year", in that selfsame year that Elisha died; and so read the Syriac, Arabic, and the Vulgate Latin versions.

2 Reyes 13:20 In-Context

18 As铆 que toma las flechas 鈥攁帽adi贸.El rey las tom贸, y Eliseo le orden贸:鈥斅olpea el suelo!Jo谩s golpe贸 el suelo tres veces, y se detuvo.
19 Ante eso, el hombre de Dios se enoj贸 y le dijo:鈥擠ebiste haber golpeado el suelo cinco o seis veces; entonces habr铆as derrotado a los sirios hasta acabar con ellos. Pero ahora los derrotar谩s solo tres veces.
20 Despu茅s de esto, Eliseo muri贸 y fue sepultado.Cada a帽o, bandas de guerrilleros moabitas invad铆an el pa铆s.
21 En cierta ocasi贸n, unos israelitas iban a enterrar a un muerto, pero de pronto vieron a esas bandas y echaron el cad谩ver en la tumba de Eliseo. Cuando el cad谩ver toc贸 los huesos de Eliseo, 隆el hombre recobr贸 la vida y se puso de pie!
22 Durante el reinado de Joacaz, Jazael, rey de Siria, oprimi贸 a los israelitas.
