Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Kings 6:24-33.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Kings 6:33

He said — Or, the king, who, though not here named, may be presumed to be present, both by the prophet's prediction of his speedy coming, and by the presence of the lord, on whose hand the king leaned, 2 Kings 7:2. This evil — This dreadful famine, which is now so extreme, that women are forced to eat their own children. The Lord — Hath inflicted it, and (for ought I see) he will not remove it. All penal evil is of the Lord, as the first cause and sovereign judge. And this we ought to apply to particular cases: if all evil, then this evil which we are groaning under. Whoever are the instruments, God is the principal agent. What should I, &c. — Thou bidst me wait upon God for help: but I perceive I may wait long enough before deliverance comes: I am weary with waiting, I can wait no longer.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Kings 6:33

(r) So the wicked fall into a rage and desperation, if they do not find a quick remedy for their afflictions.
