Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Un trozo de higos - El remedio habitual en el Este, incluso en la actualidad, para los forúnculos comunes. Pero tal remedio no curaría naturalmente el tumor peligroso o el carbunco del que Ezequías sufrió. Por lo tanto, los medios utilizados en este milagro fueron aquellos que tienen una tendencia hacia el resultado realizado por ellos, pero que son insuficientes por sí mismos para producir ese resultado (compárese 2 Reyes 4:34 nota).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Versículo 2 Reyes 20:7 . Tome un trozo de higos - y póngalo en ebullición. No podemos decir exactamente en qué consistía la enfermedad de Ezequías. שחין shechin significa cualquier tumor inflamatorio, forúnculo, absceso, etc. Las versiones lo traducen llaga, herida, y cosas por el estilo. Algunos piensan que era una pleuresía otros, que era la peste; otros, la elefantiasis; y otros, que era una quínesis. Una cataplasma de higos podría ser muy adecuada para madurar un forúnculo, o para tratar cualquier hinchazón inflamatoria obstinada. Esto lo comenta Plinio: Omnibus quae maturanda ant discutienda sunt imponuntur. Pero no podemos pronunciarnos sobre la conveniencia de la aplicación, a menos que estemos seguros de la naturaleza de la enfermedad. Sin embargo, éste fue el medio natural que Dios eligió para bendecir la recuperación de la salud de Ezequías; y sin esta interposición habría muerto.
