The Shunammite, when she went to the prophet, did not desire so much attendance; but only requested her husband to send her an ass and its driver.\nDrive: Sa1 25:19\nslack not thy riding for me: Heb. restrain not for me to ride\nto mount: Kg2 2:25; Kg1 18:19, Kg1 18:42; Isa 35:2\nRun now: Zac 2:4\nIs it well with thee: Gen 29:6, Gen 37:14; Sa1 17:18; Mat 10:12, Mat 10:13; Act 15:36\nIt is well: Kg2 4:23; Lev 10:3; Sa1 3:18; Job 1:21, Job 1:22; Psa 39:9\nhim by the feet: Heb. by his feet, Mat 28:9; Luk 7:38\nthrust: Mat 15:23, Mat 20:31; Mar 10:13; Joh 4:27, Joh 12:4-6\nLet her alone: Mar 14:6; Joh 12:7\nvexed: Heb. bitter, Sa1 1:10; Job 10:1; Pro 14:10, Pro 18:14\nhid it from me: Kg2 6:12; Gen 18:17; Sa2 7:3; Amo 3:7; Joh 15:15\nDid I desire: Gen 30:1\nDo not: Kg2 4:16\nGird up thy loins: Kg2 9:1; Kg1 18:46; Eph 6:14; Pe1 1:13\nsalute him not: Luk 10:4\nlay my staff: Kg2 2:8, Kg2 2:14; Exo 7:19, Exo 7:20, Exo 14:16; Jos 6:4, Jos 6:5; Act 3:16, Act 19:12\nI will not: Exo 33:12-16; Rut 1:16-18\nneither voice: Sa1 14:37, Sa1 28:6; Eze 14:3; Mat 17:16-21; Mar 9:19-29; Act 19:13-17\nhearing: Heb. attention, Kg1 18:26, Kg1 18:29\nnot awaked: Job 14:12; Dan 12:2; Mar 5:39; Joh 11:11, Joh 11:43, Joh 11:44; Eph 5:14\nthe child: Kg1 17:17; Luk 8:52, Luk 8:53; Joh 11:17\nshut the door: Kg2 4:4; Mat 6:6\nprayed: Kg2 5:11, Kg2 6:17, Kg2 6:18, Kg2 6:20; Kg1 17:20, Kg1 17:21, Kg1 18:26, Kg1 18:27; Joh 11:41, Joh 11:42; Act 9:40; Jam 5:13-18\nto and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither\nand the child opened: Kg2 8:1, Kg2 8:5, Kg2 13:21; Kg1 17:22; Luk 7:14, Luk 7:15, Luk 8:55; Joh 11:43, Joh 11:44; Act 9:40\nCall this Shunammite: Kg2 4:12\nTake up: Kg1 17:23; Luk 7:15; Heb 11:35\nfell at his feet: Kg2 4:27, Kg2 2:15; Kg1 17:24\nElisha: Kg2 2:1; Sa1 7:16, Sa1 7:17; Act 10:38, Act 15:36\na dearth: Kg2 8:1; Lev 26:26; Deu 28:22-24, Deu 28:38-40; Sa2 21:1; Jer 14:1-6; Eze 14:13; Luk 4:25\nwere sitting: Pro 8:34; Luk 2:46, Luk 8:35, Luk 8:38, Luk 10:39; Act 22:3\nSet on the great pot: Mar 6:37, Mar 8:2-6; Luk 9:13; Joh 21:5, Joh 21:9\na wild vine: Isa 5:4; Jer 2:21; Mat 15:13; Heb 12:15\nwild gourds: The word pakkuoth, from peka, in Chaldee, to burst, and in Syriac, to crack, thunder, is generally supposed to be the fruits of the coloquintida, or colocynth; whose leaves are large, placed alternately, very much like those of the vine, whence it might be called a wild vine. the flowers are white, and the fruit of the gourd kind, of the size of a large apple, and when ripe, of a yellow colour, and a pleasant and inviting appearance. It ranks among vegetable poisons, as all intense bitters do; but, judiciously employed, it is of considerable use in medicine. It is said that the fruit, when ripe, is so full of wind that it bursts, and throws its liquor and seeds to a great distance, and if touched, before it breaks of itself, it flies open with an explosion, and discharges its foetid contents in the face of him who touched it.\nO thou: Kg2 4:9, Kg2 1:9, Kg2 1:11, Kg2 1:13; Deu 33:1; Kg1 17:18\ndeath: Exo 10:17, Exo 15:23; Mar 16:18\nhe cast: Kg2 2:21, Kg2 5:10, Kg2 6:6; Exo 15:25; Joh 9:6; Co1 1:25\nthere: Act 28:5\nharm: Heb. evil thing\nBaalshalisha: Sa1 9:4, Sa1 9:7\nbread: Kg2 4:38; Exo 23:16; Deu 12:6, Deu 26:2-10; Sa1 9:7; Ch2 11:13, Ch2 11:14; Pro 3:9, Pro 3:10; Co1 9:11; Gal 6:6\nof barley: Kg2 7:1, Kg2 7:16-18; Deu 8:8, Deu 32:14; Joh 6:9, Joh 6:13\nthe husk thereof: or, his scrip, or garment, Note: Parched corn, or corn to be parched; full ears before they are ripe, parched on the fire. a very frequent food in the East. The loaves were probably extremely small, as their loaves of bread still are in eastern countries. But small as this may appear, it would be a considerable present in the time of famine; though very inadequate to the number of persons. Baal-shalisha, of which the person who made this seasonable present was an inhabitant, was situated, according to Eusebius and Jerome, fifteen miles north of Diospolis, or Lydda.\nhis servitor: Kg2 4:12\nWhat: Mat 14:16, Mat 14:17, Mat 15:33, Mat 15:34; Mar 6:37-39, Mar 8:4; Luk 9:13; Joh 6:9\nThey shall eat: Mat 14:20, Mat 15:37, Mat 16:8-10; Mar 6:42, Mar 6:43, Mar 8:20; Luk 9:17; Joh 6:11-13","title":"Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge: 4 Kings (2 Kings): 4 Ki...","type":"page"}
