2 Reis 6:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:17

And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes,
that he may see
Not the eyes of his body, which were not shut nor blinded, but the eyes of his mind; or, in other words, grant him a vision, represented in so strong a light, as to remove his fears:

and the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw;
he had a vision of angels:

and, behold, the mountain;
on which the city was built, or one near it:

was full of horses and chariots of fire;
angels in this form, as in ( 2 Kings 2:11 ) , and these were

round about Elisha;
being round about the city where he was; or rather so in the vision it was represented to the young man, he saw his master surrounded with horses and chariots of fire, in the utmost safety.

15 O servo do homem de Deus levantou-se bem cedo pela manhã e, quando saía, viu que uma tropa com cavalos e carros de guerra havia cercado a cidade. Então ele exclamou: “Ah, meu senhor! O que faremos?”
16 O profeta respondeu: “Não tenha medo. Aqueles que estão conosco são mais numerosos do que eles”.
17 E Eliseu orou: “SENHOR, abre os olhos dele para que veja”. Então o SENHOR abriu os olhos do rapaz, que olhou e viu as colinas cheias de cavalos e carros de fogo ao redor de Eliseu.
18 Quando os arameus desceram na direção de Eliseu, ele orou ao SENHOR: “Fere estes homens de cegueira”. Então ele os feriu de cegueira, conforme Eliseu havia pedido.
19 Eliseu lhes disse: “Este não é o caminho nem esta é a cidade que procuram. Sigam-me, e eu os levarei ao homem que vocês estão procurando”. E os guiou até a cidade de Samaria.
