Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nKg2 6:1, Elisha, giving leave to the young prophets to enlarge their dwellings, causes iron to swim; Kg2 6:8, He discloses the king of Syria's counsel; Kg2 6:13, The army which was sent to Dothan to apprehend Elisha, is smitten with blindness; Kg2 6:19, Being brought into Samaria, they are dismissed in peace; Kg2 6:24, The famine in Samaria causes women to eat their own children; Kg2 6:30, The king sends to slay Elisha.\nthe sons: Kg2 2:3, Kg2 4:1; Kg1 20:35\nthe place: Kg2 4:38; Sa1 19:20\ntoo strait for us: Jos 17:14, Jos 19:47; Job 36:16; Isa 49:19, Isa 49:20, Isa 54:2, Isa 54:3\nand take thence: Joh 21:3; Act 18:3, Act 20:34, Act 20:35; Co1 9:6; Th1 2:9; Th2 3:8; Ti1 6:6\nBe content: Kg2 5:23; Jdg 19:6; Job 6:28\ngo with thy: Jdg 4:8\nthey cut down wood: Deu 19:5, Deu 29:11\nax head: Heb. iron, Ecc 10:10; Isa 10:34\nmaster: Kg2 6:15, Kg2 3:10; Rev 18:10, Rev 18:16, Rev 18:19\nfor it was borrowed: Kg2 4:7; Exo 22:14, Exo 22:15; Psa 37:21\nhe cut down: This could have no natural tendency to raise the iron and cause it to swim. it was only a sign, or ceremony, which the prophet chose to employ on the occasion. Kg2 2:21, Kg2 4:41; Exo 15:25; Mar 7:33, Mar 7:34, Mar 8:23-25; Joh 9:6, Joh 9:7\nthe iron: This was the real miracle; for the gravity of the metal must otherwise still have kept it at the bottom of the river.\nTake it up: Kg2 4:7, Kg2 4:36; Luk 7:15; Act 9:41\nput out: Exo 4:4\nthe king: Kg2 6:24; Kg1 20:1, Kg1 20:34, Kg1 22:31\ntook: Kg1 20:23; Job 5:12, Job 5:13; Pro 20:18, Pro 21:30; Isa 7:5-7, Isa 8:10\ncamp: or, encamping\nBeware: Kg2 3:17-19; Kg1 20:13, Kg1 20:28\nthither the Syrians: Kg2 4:27; Amo 3:7; Rev 1:1\nsent to the place: To see if it were so. But the Vulgate renders, misit rex Israel ad locum, et preoccupavit eum; \"the king of Israel sent to the place, and pre-occupied it;\" which is very likely, though not expressed in the Hebrew Text.

Gen 37:17\nsent he thither horses: It is strange the Syrian monarch did not think, that he who could penetrate his secrets with respect to the Israelitish army, could inform himself of all the machinations against his own life.

Eze 4:13-16\ndove's dung: This probably denotes, as Bochart, Scheuchzer, and others suppose, a kind of pulse, or vetches, which the Arabs still call pigeon's dung. \"They never,\" says Dr. Shaw (Travels, p. 140), \"constitute a dish by themselves, but are strewed singly as a garnish over cuscasowe, pillowe, and other dishes. They are besides in the greatest repute after they are parched in pans and ovens; then assuming the name leblebby;\" and he thinks they were so called from being pointed at one end, and acquiring an ash colour in parching.\nmy lord: Sa2 14:4; Isa 10:3; Luk 18:3; Act 21:28\nIf the Lord: etc. or, Let not the Lord save thee\nwhence: Psa 60:11, Psa 62:8, Psa 118:8, Psa 118:9, Psa 124:1-3, Psa 127:1, Psa 146:3; Isa 2:2; Jer 17:5\nWhat aileth thee: Gen 21:17; Jdg 18:23; Sa1 1:8; Sa2 14:5; Psa 114:5; Isa 22:1\nGive thy son: Lev 26:29; Deu 28:53-57; Isa 9:20, Isa 9:21, Isa 49:15; Lam 4:10; Eze 5:10; Mat 24:18-21; Luk 23:29\nnext: Heb. other\nshe hath hid: Kg1 3:26; Isa 49:15, Isa 66:13\nhe rent his clothes: Kg2 5:7, Kg2 19:1; Kg1 21:27; Isa 58:5-7\nGod do so: Rut 1:17; Sa1 3:17, Sa1 14:44, Sa1 25:22; Sa2 3:9, Sa2 3:35, Sa2 19:13; Kg1 2:23\nif the head: Kg1 18:17, Kg1 19:2, Kg1 22:8; Jer 37:15, Jer 37:16, Jer 38:4; Joh 11:50; Act 23:12, Act 23:13\nthe elders: Eze 8:1, Eze 14:1, Eze 20:1, Eze 33:31\nere the messenger: Kg2 6:12, Kg2 5:26\nSee ye how: Luk 13:32\nson of a murderer: Kg1 18:4, Kg1 18:13, Kg1 18:14, Kg1 21:10\nthe sound: Kg1 14:6\nthis evil is of the Lord: Gen 4:13; Exo 16:6-8; Sa1 28:6-8, Sa1 31:4; Job 1:11, Job 1:21, Job 2:5, Job 2:9; Pro 19:3; Isa 8:21; Jer 2:25; Eze 33:10; Mat 27:4, Mat 27:5; Co2 2:7, Co2 2:11; Rev 16:9-11\nwait for the: Psa 27:14, Psa 37:7, Psa 37:9, Psa 62:5; Isa 8:17, Isa 26:3, Isa 50:10; Lam 3:25, Lam 3:26; Hab 2:3; Luk 18:1","title":"Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge: 4 Kings (2 Kings): 4 Ki...","type":"page"}
