Cross-References
He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the Jordan Valley and saw smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.

As the enemy came down toward Elisha, he prayed to the Lord , "Make these people blind." So he made the Aramean army blind, as Elisha had asked.
Work wears fools out; they don't even know how to get home.
You were tired from doing these things, but you never gave up. You found new strength, so you did not quit.
It is so easy for you to change your mind. Even Egypt will let you down, as Assyria let you down.
Now the Lord will touch you, and you will be blind. For a time you will not be able to see anything—not even the light from the sun." Then everything became dark for Elymas, and he walked around, trying to find someone to lead him by the hand.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests,.... Who were at Jerusalem, and in his interest; perhaps by Ahimaaz and Jonathan their sons:
saying, speak unto the elders of Judah; particularly those that were at Jerusalem, with whom they had an interest:
saying, why are ye the last to bring back the king to his house? to his palace at Jerusalem, since David was of their tribe, and was first anointed their king: what might make them the more backward to it was their being so deep in the rebellion, which was formed and cherished among them, and brought to the height it was, through their connivance and encouragement, both at Hebron and Jerusalem; and therefore they might fear the resentment of David, and that he would not be easily reconciled unto them:
seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, [even] to his house: or he has received invitations from all the tribes of Israel to return to his house or palace at Jerusalem; and so this was a part of the message of David to the priests, to be told to the elders as an aggravation of their backwardness, and as an argument to excite them to their duty; though some think these are the words of the historian, to be inserted in a parenthesis, as in our version.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 19:11. Speak unto the elders of Judah — David was afraid to fall out with this tribe: they were in possession of Jerusalem, and this was a city of great importance to him. They had joined Absalom in his rebellion; and doubtless were now ashamed of their conduct. David appears to take no notice of their infidelity, but rather to place confidence in them, that their confidence in him might be naturally excited: and, to oblige them yet farther, purposes to make Amasa captain of the host in the place of Joab.
