A Morte na Panela

2 Reis 4:38 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:38

And Elisha came again to Gilgal
Where he was with Elijah a little before his assumption to heaven, ( 2 Kings 2:1 ) and whither he went, there being a school of the prophets, as he did to all places where there were any, and where he had been before with Elijah; partly to instruct, encourage, and strengthen them, and partly to confirm his office as a prophet by miracles, which he did in several places he came to:

and there was a dearth in the land;
a famine through drought:

and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him:
as disciples before their master, see ( Acts 22:3 )

and he said unto his servant;
very probably Gehazi:

set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets;
who seemed to have lived together in one house or college, and to be to the number of one hundred, see ( 2 Kings 4:43 ) and therefore required to have a large pot set on to boil pottage for them all.

2 Reis 4:38 In-Context

36 Eliseu chamou Geazi e o mandou chamar a sunamita. E ele obedeceu. Quando ela chegou, Eliseu disse: “Pegue seu filho”.
37 Ela entrou, prostrou-se a seus pés, curvando-se até o chão. Então pegou o filho e saiu.
38 Depois Eliseu voltou a Gilgal. Nesse tempo a fome assolava a região. Quando os discípulos dos profetas estavam reunidos com ele, ordenou ao seu servo: “Ponha o caldeirão no fogo e faça um ensopado para estes homens”.
39 Um deles foi ao campo apanhar legumes e encontrou uma trepadeira. Apanhou alguns de seus frutos e encheu deles o seu manto. Quando voltou, cortou-os em pedaços e colocou-os no caldeirão do ensopado, embora ninguém soubesse o que era.
40 O ensopado foi servido aos homens, mas, logo que o provaram, gritaram: “Homem de Deus, há morte na panela!” E não puderam mais tomá-lo.
