VERSE 2

  Jehoshaphat was certainly not king of Israel, but of Judah:
  {Yisra‰l} must therefore be a mistake for {Yehoodah;} which is
  the reading of thirty-eight of Dr. Kennicott's and De Rossi's
  MSS., and of the Syriac, Arabic, Septuagint, and Vulgate.

  16 8:16."

- Elijah the prophet.
  If the account of the translation of Elijah be given in the
  order in which it happened, then it occurred in the reign of
  Jehoshaphat, the father of Jehoram.  Hence, it is probable
  that he wrote it before his assumption, and left it to be
  delivered by Elisha or one of the prophets.

VERSE 14 
 - plague.  Heb. stroke.
   * Le 26:21
- thy people.
  Many of the people had concurred in Jehoram's idolatry, and
  some of them must have been instruments in his base, unnatural
  murders; they were therefore joined in his punishment, and he
  suffered by the loss of his subjects.

   * Ho 5:11 Mic 6:16
- thy children.
   * Ex 20:5


VERSE 15 
 - by disease.
  This is supposed to have been a violent dysentery, a disease
  which is often attended with symptoms similar to those
