Elisha: 2 Kings 4:34, Genesis 49:24, Psalms 144:1
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto the king of Israel, put thine hand upon the bow, and he put his hand upon it,.... His left hand:
and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands; on both his hands, which were put, the one on the bow, the other on the arrow m; hereby signifying, that though the king would draw the bow in battle, the Lord, whom the prophet represented, would give the success; and that it would be by his help, and through his blessing on his arms, that he would obtain victory over his enemies.
m See Virgil. Aeneid. 11. ver. 831, 862.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands - A symbolic act, indicating that the successes, which the shooting typified, were to come, not from human skill, or strength, or daring, but from the presence and the power of God.
