2 Kings 3:20 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

Ver. 20. In the morning, when the meat offering was offered.] Which was the hour of public prayer. Act 3:1 The devotions of all true Jews - all the world over - were in that hour combined. How seasonably doth the wisdom of God pick out that instant wherein he might at once answer both Elisha's prophecy and his people's prayers!

That, behold, there came water.] Adductae ab angelis, saith A Lapide, brought thither by the angels.

And the country was filled.] Not the ditches only.
