Commentary on 2 Kings 13:9

HENRY_FULL · 2 Kings 13:9
225" Relief is here brought to Samaria and her king, when the case is, in a manner, desperate, and the king despairing. I. It is foretold by Elisha, and an unbelieving lord shut out from the benefit of it, ver. 1, 2 . II. It is brought about, 1. By an unaccountable fright into which God put the Syrians ( ver. 6 ), which caused them to retire precipitately, ver. 7 . 2. By the seasonable discovery which four lepers made of this ( ver. 3-5 ), and the account which they gave of it to the court, ver. 8-11 . 3. By the cautious trial which the king made of the truth of it, ver. 12-15 . III. The event answered the prediction both in the sudden plenty ( ver. 16 ), and the death of the unbelieving lord ( ver. 17-20 ); for no word of God shall fall to the ground.
