S E C O N D K I N G S CHAP. VII. Relief is here brought to Samaria and her king, when the case is, in a manner, desperate, and the king despairing. I. It is foretold by Elisha, and an unbelieving lord shut out from the benefit of it, 2 Kings 7:1 ; 2 Kings 7:2 . II. It is brought about, 1. By an unaccountable fright into which God put the Syrians ( 2 Kings 7:6 ), which caused them to retire precipitately, 2 Kings 7:7 . 2. By the seasonable discovery which four lepers made of this ( 2 Kings 7:3-5 ), and the account which they gave of it to the court, 2 Kings 7:8-11 . 3. By the cautious trial which the king made of the truth of it, 2 Kings 7:12-15 . III. The event answered the prediction both in the sudden plenty ( 2 Kings 7:16 ), and the death of the unbelieving lord ( 2 Kings 7:17-20 ); for no word of God shall fall to the ground. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-2" class="com-number"
