2 Rois 6:1

Listen to 2 Rois 6:1
1 Or, les fils des prophètes dirent à Élisée: Voici, le lieu où nous sommes assis devant toi est trop étroit pour nous.

2 Rois 6:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:1

And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha
Or the disciples of the prophets, as the Targum:

behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us:
their numbers were so increased, that there was not room enough for them in the house they dwelt in with the prophet; which increase was owing, the Jews F26 say, to the departure of Gehazi last mentioned, who was a bad man, and used the disciples so ill, that they could not stay in the college; but, when he was gone, they flocked in great numbers; but rather it was owing to the very instructive ministry and wonderful miracles of Elisha: the place where the prophet and his disciples now dwelt seems to be Gilgal, ( 2 Kings 4:38 ) .

2 Rois 6:1 In-Context

1 Or, les fils des prophètes dirent à Élisée: Voici, le lieu où nous sommes assis devant toi est trop étroit pour nous.
2 Allons-nous-en jusqu'au Jourdain; et nous prendrons là chacun une pièce de bois, et nous y bâtirons une demeure.
3 Il répondit: Allez. Et l'un d'eux dit: Veuille, je te prie, venir avec tes serviteurs. Et il répondit: J'irai.
4 Il s'en alla donc avec eux; et ils vinrent au Jourdain, et coupèrent du bois.
5 Mais comme l'un d'entre eux abattait une pièce de bois, il arriva que le fer tomba dans l'eau; et il s'écria et dit: Hélas, mon seigneur! Et encore il était emprunté!
