Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nKg2 8:1, The Shunammite, having left her country seven years, to avoid the forewarned famine, for Elisha's miracle's sake has her land restored by the king; Kg2 8:7, Hazael, being sent with a present by Ben-hadad to Elisha at Damascus, after he had heard the prophecy, kills his master, and succeeds him; Kg2 8:16, Jehoram's wicked reign in Judah; Kg2 8:20, Edom and Libnah revolt; Kg2 8:23, Ahaziah succeeds Jehoram; Kg2 8:25, Ahaziah's wicked reign; Kg2 8:28, He visits Joram, being wounded, at Jezreel.\nam 3113, bc 891\nwhose son: Kg2 4:18, Kg2 4:31-35\nsojourn: Gen 12:10, Gen 26:1, Gen 47:4; Rut 1:1\nthe Lord: Gen 41:25, Gen 41:28, Gen 41:32; Lev 26:19, Lev 26:20, Lev 26:26; Deu 28:22-24, Deu 28:38-40; Kg1 17:1, Kg1 18:2; Psa 105:16, Psa 107:34; Hag 1:11; Luk 21:11, Luk 21:22; Act 11:28\ncalled for a famine: Jer 25:29\nseven years: Gen 41:27; Sa2 21:1, Sa2 24:13; Luk 4:25\nwith: Ti1 5:8\nland: Jdg 3:3; Sa1 27:1-3\nam 3119, bc 885, Kg2 8:6, Kg2 4:13, Kg2 6:26; Sa2 14:4; Psa 82:3, Psa 82:4; Jer 22:16; Luk 18:3-5\nthe king: As it appears not likely that the king would hold conversation with a leprous man; or, that, knowing Gehazi had been dismissed with the highest disgrace from the prophet's service, he would talk with him concerning his late master; some have supposed that this happened before the cleansing of Naaman. But it agrees better with the chronology to consider it as having taken place after that event; the king, probably, having an insatiable curiosity to know the private history of a man who had done such astonishing things. As to the circumstances of Gehazi's disease, he might overlook that, and converse with him, keeping at a reasonable distance, as nothing but actual contact could defile.\nGehazi: Kg2 5:20-27, Kg2 7:3, Kg2 7:10\nTell: Mat 2:8; Luk 9:9, Luk 23:8; Joh 9:27; Act 24:24\nall the great: Kg2 2:14, Kg2 2:20-22, Kg2 2:24, Kg2 3:14-16, Kg2 4:3-6, Kg2 4:16, Kg2 4:17, Kg2 5:14, Kg2 5:27, Kg2 6:6, Kg2 6:9-12, Kg2 6:17-20, Kg2 6:32; Kg2 7:1, Kg2 7:16-20\nhe had restored: Kg2 4:35\nthe woman: Rut 2:3; Est 5:14, Est 6:11, Est 6:12; Pro 16:9; Ecc 9:11; Mat 10:29, Mat 10:30; Act 8:27-40; Rom 8:31\nMy lord: Kg2 6:12, Kg2 6:26; Sa1 26:17; Psa 145:1\nofficer: or, eunuch, Kg2 9:32; Gen 37:36; Ch1 28:1 *marg.\nRestore all: Deu 22:2; Jdg 11:13; Sa2 9:7; Pro 16:7, Pro 21:1\nDamascus: Gen 14:15; Kg1 11:24; Isa 7:8\nBenhadad: Kg2 6:24; Kg1 15:18, Kg1 20:1, Kg1 20:34\nThe man of God: Kg2 1:9, Kg2 1:10, Kg2 2:15, Kg2 6:12\nHazael: Kg1 19:15\nTake: Kg2 5:5; Sa1 9:7; Kg1 14:3\ninquire: Kg2 1:2, Kg2 1:6, Kg2 3:11-13; Kg1 14:1-4; Luk 13:23; Act 16:30\nwith him: Heb. in his hand, Kg2 5:5\nThy son Benhadad: Kg2 6:21, Kg2 13:14, Kg2 16:7; Sa1 25:8; Plm 1:14\nThou mayest: Kg1 22:15\nthe Lord: Kg2 8:13; Gen 41:39; Jer 38:21; Eze 11:25; Amo 3:7, Amo 7:1, Amo 7:4, Amo 7:7, Amo 8:1; Zac 1:20; Rev 22:1\nhe shall surely die: Kg2 8:15, Kg2 1:4, Kg2 1:16; Gen 2:17; Eze 18:13\nstedfastly: Heb. and set it\nwept: Gen 45:2; Psa 119:136; Jer 4:19, Jer 9:1, Jer 9:18, Jer 13:17, Jer 14:17; Luk 19:41; Joh 11:35; Act 20:19, Act 20:31; Rom 9:2; Phi 3:18\nthe evil: Kg2 10:32, Kg2 10:33, Kg2 12:17, Kg2 13:3, Kg2 13:7; Amo 1:3, Amo 1:4\ndash: Kg2 15:16; Psa 137:8, Psa 137:9; Isa 13:16, Isa 13:18; Hos 10:14, Hos 13:16; Amo 1:3-5, Amo 1:13; Nah 3:10\na dog: Sa1 17:43; Sa2 9:8; Psa 22:16, Psa 22:20; Isa 56:10, Isa 56:11; Mat 7:6; Phi 3:2; Rev 22:15\nhe should do: Jer 17:9; Mat 26:33-35\nThe Lord: Kg2 8:10; Kg1 19:15; Mic 2:1\nHe told me: Kg2 8:10, Kg2 5:25; Mat 26:16\nAnd it came: Kg2 8:13; Sa1 16:12, Sa1 16:13, Sa1 24:4-7, Sa1 24:13, Sa1 26:9-11; Kg1 11:26-37\non the morrow: Psa 36:4; Mic 2:1\nthat he took a thick cloth: There is a considerable degree of ambiguity in this passage. The pronoun he is generally referred to Hazael; but Dr. Geddes and others are decidedly of the opinion, that we should understand by it Ben-hadad; who, encouraged by the favourable answer of Elisha, as reported by Hazael, adopted a violent remedy to allay the heat of his fever, and put over his face the keever, or fly-net. (See note on Sa1 19:13), dipped in water, which suddenly checked the perspiration, and occasioned his death.\nso that he died: Kg2 9:24, Kg2 15:10-14, Kg2 15:25, Kg2 15:30; Kg1 15:28, Kg1 16:10, Kg1 16:18; Isa 33:1\nam 3112, bc 892\nJehoram: Kg2 1:17; Kg1 22:50; 2Chr. 21:1-20\nbegan to reign: Heb. reigned, \"Began to reign in concert with his father.\nam 3112-3119, bc 892-885, Kg2 8:17\nin the way: Kg2 3:2, Kg2 3:3; Kg1 22:52, Kg1 22:53\nthe house: Kg2 9:7, Kg2 9:8, Kg2 21:3, Kg2 21:13; Ch2 21:13; Mic 6:16\nthe daughter: Kg2 8:26; Kg1 21:25; Ch2 18:1, Ch2 19:2, Ch2 21:6, Ch2 22:1-4\nhis wife: Gen 6:1-5; Deu 7:3, Deu 7:4; Kg1 11:1-5; Neh 13:25, Neh 13:26\nfor David: Kg2 19:34; Sa2 7:12, Sa2 7:13, Sa2 7:15; Kg1 11:36, Kg1 15:4, Kg1 15:5; Ch2 21:7; Isa 7:14, Isa 37:35; Jer 33:25, Jer 33:26; Hos 11:9; Luk 1:32, Luk 1:33\nlight: Heb. candle, or lamp, Kg1 11:36\nEdom: Kg2 8:22, Kg2 3:9, Kg2 3:27; Gen 27:40; Ch2 21:8-10\nmade a king: Sa2 8:14; Kg1 22:47\nZair: Zair is supposed by Calmet and others to be the same as Seir, the country of Seir the Horite, inhabited by the Edomites or Idumeans.

For his father began to reign when he was thirty-two years old, and reigned eight years, and so died, being forty years old.
