2 Kings 6:17
_ _ Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see — The invisible guard of angels that encompass and defend us (Psalms 34:7). The opening of the eyes, which Elisha prayed for, were those of the Spirit, not of the body — the eye of faith sees the reality of the divine presence and protection where all is vacancy or darkness to the ordinary eye. The horses and chariots were symbols of the divine power (see on 2 Kings 2:12); and their fiery nature denoted their supernatural origin; for fire, the most ethereal of earthly elements, is the most appropriate symbol of the Godhead [Keil]. |
2 Kings 6:17
He saw, &c. — Fire is both dreadful and devouring: that power which was engaged for Elisha, could both terrify and consume the assailants.

Elisha gives a specimen of Divine mercy, in heaping coals of fire on the heads of his persecutors to melt them. |
