Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he settled his countenance steadfastly,.... Refrained himself as much as possible, that he might not weep, as some Jewish writers interpret it; or, as others, he turned his face on one side, and covered it with his hands, that Hazael might not see him weep; or rather he set his face on Hazael, and looked at him so wistly:
until he was ashamed; that is, Hazael; the prophet looked him out of countenance:
and the man of God wept; at the thought of what calamities the man before him, he looked on, would be the cause of in Israel, as the following words show.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That is, âAnd he (Elisha) settled his conntenance, and set it (toward Hazael), until he (Hazael) was ashamed.â Elisha fixed on Hazael a long and meaning look, until the latterâs eyes fell before his, and his cheek flushed. Elisha, it would seem, had detected the guilty thought that was in Hazaelâs heart, and Hazael perceived that he had detected it. Hence the âshame.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 8:11. He settled his countenance steadfastly — Of whom does the author speak? Of Hazael, or of Elisha? Several apply this action to the prophet: he had a murderer before him and he saw the bloody acts he was about to commit, and was greatly distressed; but he endeavoured to conceal his feelings: at last his face reddened with anguish, his feelings overcame him, and he burst out and wept.
The Septuagint, as it stands in the Complutensian and Antwerp Polyglots, makes the text very plain: Îαι εÌÏÏη Îζαηλ καÏα ÏÏÏÏοÏον Î±Ï ÏÎ¿Ï , και ÏαÏεθηκεν ενÏÏιον Î±Ï ÏÎ¿Ï Î´ÏÏα, εÌÏÏ Î·Í ÏÏÏ Î½ÎµÏοΠκαι ÎµÎºÎ»Î±Ï Ïεν Î¿Ì Î±Î½Î¸ÏÏÏÎ¿Ï ÏÎ¿Ï ÎÎµÎ¿Ï , And Hazael stood before his face, and he presented before him gifts till he was ashamed; and the man of God wept.
The Codex Vaticanus, and the Codex Alexandrinus, are nearly as the Hebrew. The Aldine edition agrees in some respects with the Complutensian; but all the versions follow the Hebrew.
