VERSE 1
- A.M. 3113.  B.C. 891.  whose son.  See on ch.
   * 2Ki 4:18,31-35
- sojourn.
   * Ge 12:10; 26:1; 47:4 Ru 1:1
- the Lord.

VERSE 4 
 - the 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.

- Gehazi.

   * Ps 36:4 Mic 2:1
- that 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 favorable
  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 1 Sa 13 19:13,) dipped in
  water, which suddenly checked the perspiration, and occasioned
  his death.

- so that he died.

VERSE 17 
 - A.M. 3112-3119.  B.C. 892-885.
   * :17


VERSE 18 
 - in the way.
   * 2Ki 3:2,3 1Ki 22:52,53
- the house.
   * 2Ki 9:7,8; 21:3,13 2Ch 21:13 Mic 6:16

VERSE 21 
 - Zair.
  Zair is supposed by Calmet and others to be the same as Se‹r,
  the country of Seir the Horite, inhabited by the Edomites or
  Idumeans.  Probably the former was a dialectical pronunciation
  of the latter.

   * :21


VERSE 22 
 - Yet.
  "And so fulfilled.  Ge 27:40."

- See ver
   * :20
- Libnah.
   * 2Ki 19:8 Jos 21:13 2Ch 21:10

VERSE 23
    * 2Ki 15:6,36
- See on
   * 1Ki 11:41; 14:29; 15:23 2Ch 21:11-20

   * :16,17; 9:29 2Ch 21:20


VERSE 26 
 - Two and twenty.
  In the parallel passage of Chronicles, it is said, "forty and
  two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign;" but this is
  evidently a mistake, as it makes the son two years older than
  his own father!  For his father began to reign when he was
  thirty-two years old, and reigned eight years, and so died,
  being forty years old.  See ver. 17, and the Note on 2 Ch 2 22:2.

- one year.

  wounded.  Ramah.
  "Called Ramoth, ver. 28."
