* And it came.
13 1Sa 16:12,13 24:4-7,13 26:9-11 1Ki 11:26-37
* on the morrow.
Ps 36:4 Mic 2:1
* that he took a thick cloth.
There is a considerable degree of ambiguity in this passage.
The pronoun he is generally referred to Hazael; but Dr.
Geddes and others are decidedly of the opinion, that we should
understand by it Ben-hadad; who, encouraged by the favourable
answer of Elisha, as reported by Hazael, adopted a violent
remedy to allay the heat of his fever, and put over his face
the {keever,} or fly-net, (See Note on 1; Sa 19:13,) dipped in
water, which suddenly checked the perspiration, and occasioned
his death.
* so that he died.
9:24 15:10-14,25,30 1Ki 15:28 16:10,18 Isa 33:1
* Hazael.
