Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she said unto her husband,.... Not being willing to do any thing without his leave and consent:
behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God which passeth by us continually: and calls here frequently: this she perceived by his discourse and conversation; and by his carriage and behaviour he appeared to be a prophet, and one very eminent for holiness and religion.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 4:9. This is a holy man of God — That is, a prophet, as the Chaldee interprets it.
Which passeth by us continually. — It probably lay in his way to some school of the prophets that he usually attended.
