Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Kings 6:15

_ _ his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? — When the Syrian detachment surrounded the place by night, for the apprehension of the prophet, his servant was paralyzed with fear. This was a new servant, who had only been with him since Gehazi’s dismissal and consequently had little or no experience of his master’s powers. His faith was easily shaken by so unexpected an alarm.
