He went from thence; partly, to decline the fury of the people of Beth-el; partly, that he might retire himself from men, and converse more freely with God, and so fit himself more for the discharge of his employment; and partly, that he might visit the sons of the prophets who lived in that place, or near it. He returned to Samaria, by the direction of God's Spirit, for the service which he did, 2 Kings 3:11, &c.
