Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Kings 8:10

_ _ Go, say ... Thou mayest certainly recover — There was no contradiction in this message. This part was properly the answer to Ben-hadad’s inquiry [2 Kings 8:9]. The second part was intended for Hazael, who, like an artful and ambitious courtier, reported only as much of the prophet’s statement as suited his own views (compare 2 Kings 8:14).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Kings 8:7-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Kings 8:10

Howbeit — Here is no contradiction: for the first words contain an answer to Benhadad's question, shall I recover? To which the answer is, thou mayest, notwithstanding thy disease, which is not mortal. The latter words contain the prophet's addition to that answer, which is, that he should die, not by the power of his disease, but by some other cause.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Kings 8:10

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly (f) recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die.

(f) Meaning that he would recover of this disease: but he knew that this messenger Hazael would slay him to obtain the kingdom.
