Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Thou hast: Mark 11:22-24, John 16:24
asked a hard thing: Heb. done hard in asking
if thou see: 2 Kings 2:12, Acts 1:9, Acts 1:10
Reciprocal: Numbers 27:20 - put some 2 Kings 20:10 - General
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said, thou hast asked a hard thing,.... Not a common privilege, but what is rarely enjoyed, and difficult to obtain, few are so favoured of God:
nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee, but if not, it shall not be so; meaning, that if his rapture was visible to Elisha, and he was favoured with a sight of his assumption, and be an eyewitness of it, this would be a token both to Elijah that it was agreeable to the Lord to ask of him this favour for him, and to Elisha to expect it, otherwise not.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
It would be better to omit the words “when I am,” which are not in the original. The sign was to be Elisha’s seeing the actual translation, which he did 2 Kings 2:12.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 2:10. A hard thing — This is what is not in my power, God alone can give this; yet if thou see me taken away from thee, it shall be so. Perhaps this means no more than, "If thou continue with me till I am translated, God will grant this to thee;" for on the mere seeing or not seeing him in the moment in which he was taken away, this Divine gift could not depend.
