2 Reyes 13:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:19

And the man of God was wroth with him
Because he ceased smiting, and smote no oftener; for it was revealed to the prophet, by an impulse upon his mind, that by the number of times he smote on the ground, it would be known how often he should get the victory over his enemies; but this was to be left to the king's own will, how often he would smite, and thereby the prophet would know also with what spirit he would pursue his victories, and the advantages he would gain:

and said, thou shouldest have smitten five or six times, then hadst
thou smitten Syria until thou hadst consumed it;
as a nation, as well as routed their several armies:

whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice;
beat them only three times in battle, according to the number of his smitings on the ground.

17 y dijo: Abre la ventana de hacia el oriente. Y cuando 茅l la abri贸 dijo Eliseo: Tira. Y tirando 茅l, dijo Eliseo : Saeta de salud del SE脩OR, y saeta de salud contra Siria; porque herir谩s a los siros en Afec, hasta consumirlos.
18 Y le volvi贸 a decir: Toma las saetas. Y luego que el rey de Israel las hubo tomado, le dijo: Hiere la tierra. Y 茅l hiri贸 tres veces, y ces贸.
19 Entonces el var贸n de Dios, enojado con 茅l, le dijo: A herir cinco o seis veces, herir铆as a Siria, hasta no quedar ninguno; pero ahora tres veces herir谩s a Siria.
20 Y muri贸 Eliseo, y lo sepultaron. Entrado el a帽o vinieron ej茅rcitos de moabitas a la tierra.
21 Y aconteci贸 que queriendo unos sepultar un hombre, s煤bitamente vieron al ej茅rcito, y arrojaron al hombre en el sepulcro de Eliseo; y el muerto toc贸 los huesos de Eliseo, y revivi贸, y se levant贸 sobre sus pies.
