2 Kings 6:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:9

And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel
That is, Elisha sent to him: saying,

beware that thou pass not such a place:
not go to it, but avoid it, and pass another way:

for thither the Syrians are come down:
are hidden, as the Targum; lie covered at the bottom of the hill, so as not to be seen.

2 Kings 6:9 In-Context

7 et ait tolle qui extendit manum et tulit illud
8 rex autem Syriae pugnabat contra Israhel consiliumque iniit cum servis suis dicens in loco illo et illo ponamus insidias
9 misit itaque vir Dei ad regem Israhel dicens cave ne transeas in loco illo quia ibi Syri in insidiis sunt
10 misit rex Israhel ad locum quem dixerat ei vir Dei et praeoccupavit eum et observavit se ibi non semel neque bis
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
