2 Kings 13:14-19
_ _ Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died — Every man’s death is occasioned by some disease, and so was Elisha’s. But in intimating it, there seems a contrast tacitly made between him and his prophetic predecessor, who did not die.
_ _ Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face — He visited him where he was lying ill of this mortal sickness, and expressed deep sorrow, not from the personal respect he bore for the prophet, but for the incalculable loss his death would occasion to the kingdom.
_ _ my father, my father! etc. — (See on 2 Kings 2:12). These words seem to have been a complimentary phrase applied to one who was thought an eminent guardian and deliverer of his country. The particular application of them to Elisha, who, by his counsels and prayer, had obtained many glorious victories for Israel, shows that the king possessed some measure of faith and trust, which, though weak, was accepted, and called forth the prophet’s dying benediction. |
2 Kings 13:14
Fallen sick, &c. — He lived long: for it was sixty years since he was first called to be a prophet. It was a great mercy to Israel and especially to the sons of the prophets, that he was continued so long, a burning and a shining light. Elijah finished his testimony, in a fourth part of that time. God's prophets have their day set them, longer or shorter, as infinite wisdom sees fit. But all the latter part of his time, from the anointing of Jehu, which was forty five years before Joash began his reign, we find no mention of him, or of any thing he did, 'till we find him here upon his death bed. Yet he might be useful to the last, tho' not so famous as he had sometimes been. |
2 Kings 13:14
Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, (h) O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
(h) Thus they used to call the prophets and servants of God, by whom God blesses his people, as in (2 Kings 2:12) meaning that they prospered their country more by their prayers than by force of arms. |
