2 Kings 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:13

And he said, go, and spy where he is, that I may send and
fetch him
But how could he expect to take him, who could give the king of Israel such intelligence of his designs against him, that he might escape his snares?

and it was told him, saying, behold, he is in Dothan;
a city in the tribe of Manasseh, not far from Shechem; see ( Genesis 37:17 ) .

2 Kings 6:13 In-Context

11 conturbatumque est cor regis Syriae pro hac re et convocatis servis suis ait quare non indicastis mihi quis proditor mei sit apud regem Israhel

12 dixitque unus servorum eius nequaquam domine mi rex sed Heliseus propheta qui est in Israhel indicat regi Israhel omnia verba quaecumque locutus fueris in conclavi tuo

13 dixit eis ite et videte ubi sit ut mittam et capiam eum adnuntiaveruntque ei dicentes ecce in Dothan

14 misit ergo illuc equos et currus et robur exercitus qui cum venissent nocte circumdederunt civitatem

15 consurgens autem diluculo minister viri Dei egressus est viditque exercitum in circuitu civitatis et equos et currus nuntiavitque ei dicens eheu eheu domine mi quid faciemus
