2 Reyes 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:8

Then the king of Syria warred against Israel
Proclaimed war against him; on what account, or how long it was after Naaman his general came with a letter of recommendation from him to the king of Israel, and had his cure, is not said:

and took counsel with his servants;
his privy counsellors, or the general officers of his army:

saying, in such and such a place shall be my camp;
in some covered hidden place, as the Targum; where he would lie encamped waiting in ambush, to fall upon the king of Israel unawares, as he and his forces should pass that way; the place, no doubt, was named by the king of Syria, though not recorded by the historian; or, as the words may be rendered,

the place of such and such a man;
for, as Ben Melech observes, "peloni almoni" are used of persons whose names are either unknown or concealed.

6 鈥斅緿贸nde cay贸? 鈥攑regunt贸 el hombre de Dios.Cuando se le indic贸 el lugar, Eliseo cort贸 un palo y, ech谩ndolo all铆, hizo que el hacha saliera a flote.
7 鈥擲谩cala 鈥攐rden贸 Eliseo.As铆 que el hombre extendi贸 el brazo y la sac贸.
8 El rey de Siria, que estaba en guerra con Israel, deliber贸 con sus ministros y les dijo: 芦Vamos a acampar en tal lugar禄.
9 Pero el hombre de Dios le envi贸 este mensaje al rey de Israel: 芦Procura no pasar por este sitio, pues los sirios te han tendido all铆 una emboscada禄.
10 As铆 que el rey de Israel envi贸 a reconocer el lugar que el hombre de Dios le hab铆a indicado. Y en varias otras ocasiones Eliseo le avis贸 al rey, de modo que este tom贸 precauciones.
