Verse 14. - And he said - he, Elisha, said to Gehazi - What then is to be done for her? If the woman will suggest nothing herself, can Gehazi suggest anything? Has he heard her express any wish? Does he know of any boon that would be welcome to her? Evidently the woman's disinterestedness has increased the prophet's desire to do something for her. b It does not appear that the woman had made any complaint or exhibited any special anxiety on the subject of offspring. But Gehazi knows, that to be barren is regarded by all Hebrew women as a re-preach, that it exposes them to scorn and contumely (1 Samuel 1:6, 7), and that offspring is universally, or all but universally, desired. He therefore assumes that the Shunammite must wish for it. And Elisha accepts his suggestion without a moment's hesitation. 4:8-17 Elisha was well thought of by the king of Israel for his late services; a good man can take as much pleasure in serving others, as in raising himself. But the Shunammite needed not any good offices of this kind. It is a happiness to dwell among our own people, that love and respect us, and to whom we are able to do good. It would be well with many, if they did but know when they are really well off. The Lord sees the secret wish which is suppressed in obedience to his will, and he will hear the prayers of his servants in behalf of their benefactors, by sending unasked-for and unexpected mercies; nor must the professions of men of God be supposed to be delusive like those of men of the world.Jump to Previous Aged Child Elisha Gehazi Geha'zi Husband VerilyJump to Next Aged Child Elisha Gehazi Geha'zi Husband VerilyLinks 2 Kings 4:14 NIV2 Kings 4:14 NLT 2 Kings 4:14 ESV 2 Kings 4:14 NASB 2 Kings 4:14 KJV 2 Kings 4:14 Bible Apps 2 Kings 4:14 Biblia Paralela 2 Kings 4:14 Chinese Bible 2 Kings 4:14 French Bible 2 Kings 4:14 German Bible Alphabetical: and answered asked be can done Elisha for Gehazi has he her husband is no old said she So son then to Truly Well What OT History: 2 Kings 4:14 He said What then is to be (2Ki iiKi ii ki 2 kg 2kg) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
