2 Reyes 2:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 2:16

And they said unto him, behold, now, there be with thy
servants fifty strong men
Perhaps meaning themselves, ( 2 Kings 2:7 ) who were young, stout, and strong, and able to travel for days together:

let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master;
for though they knew he was to be taken away, yet knew not for what time, and imagined he might be found again:

lest peradventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up;
as it seems he was wont to do, see ( 1 Kings 18:12 )

and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley;
where he sometimes had his abode; or they might fancy, if he was taken up to heaven, yet in his soul only, and that, when that was separated, his dead body would be left on a mountain, or in a valley; and therefore they were desirous of seeking and finding it, that it might not be exposed to birds and beasts of prey, but that they might bury it in a decent and honourable manner:

and he said, ye shall not send;
he knew it was to no purpose, since he was translated to heaven, body and soul, and which he was an eyewitness of.

2 Reyes 2:16 In-Context

14 Y tomando el manto de Elías que se le había caído, hirió las aguas, y dijo: ¿Dónde está el SEÑOR Dios de Elías? Y cuando hirió las aguas, se apartaron a uno y a otro lado, y pasó Eliseo.
15 Y viéndole los hijos de los profetas que estaban en Jericó al otro lado, dijeron: El espíritu de Elías reposó sobre Eliseo. Y vinieron a recibirle, y se inclinaron a él hasta la tierra.
16 Y le dijeron: He aquí hay con tus siervos cincuenta varones fuertes; vayan ahora y busquen a tu señor; por ventura lo ha levantado el espíritu del SEÑOR, y lo ha echado en algún monte o en algún valle. Y él les dijo: No enviéis.
17 Mas ellos le importunaron, hasta que avergonzándose, dijo: Enviad. Entonces ellos enviaron cincuenta hombres, los cuales lo buscaron tres días, mas no lo hallaron.
18 Y cuando volvieron a él, que se había quedado en Jericó, él les dijo: ¿No os dije yo que no fueseis?
