Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when they urged him until he was ashamed,.... To deny them any longer, being so very pressing and importunate:

he said, send; lest they should think he had not the respect for his master he should have had; or was so fond of his office, that he did not choose he should be found alive if he could, and return and reassume it:

they sent therefore fifty men; some one way, and some another:

and they sought three days, but found him not; and then returned.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Till he was ashamed - i. e. to refuse them any longer.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 2:17. Till he was ashamed — He saw they would not be satisfied unless they made the proposed search; he felt therefore that he could not, with any good grace, resist their importunity any longer.
