Biblia Brzeska (1563)

Bible Verse Review

he prepared: 1 Samuel 24:17, 1 Samuel 24:18, 2 Chronicles 28:15, Proverbs 25:21, Proverbs 25:22, Matthew 5:47, Luke 6:35, Luke 10:29-37

So the bands: That is, for a considerable time. What is mentioned in the next verse was more than a year afterwards. See note on 2 Kings 6:8, 2 Kings 6:9, 2 Kings 5:2, 2 Kings 24:2

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he prepared great provision for them,.... Or a great feast, as the Targum; so obedient was he to the prophet's orders:

and when they had eaten and drank; and refreshed themselves, which they needed, having marched all night and that morning from place to place:

he sent them away; that is, the king of Israel dismissed them:

and they went to their master; the king of Syria, but without the prophet Elisha they were sent to fetch:

so the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel; not as yet, or for some time; or rather the sense is, that the Syrians came not any more in small bodies, as troops of robbers making excursions, and carrying off booty in a private manner, and by surprise; but afterwards came with a large army in an open hostile manner, as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jehoram did not merely follow the letter of the prophet’s direction, but understood its spirit and acted accordingly. The plundering bands which had been in the habit of ravaging the territory 2 Kings 5:2 ceased their incursions in consequence either of the miracle, or of the kind treatment which Elisha had recommended.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 6:23. He prepared great provision for them — These, on the return to their master, could tell him strange things about the power of the God of Israel, and the magnanimity of its king.

So the bands of Syria came no more — Marauding parties were no more permitted by the Syrian king to make inroads upon Israel. And it is very likely that for some considerable time after this, there was no war between these two nations. What is mentioned in the next verse was more than a year afterwards.
