SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:15
Y le dijo Eliseo: Toma el arco y las saetas. Tomó él entonces el arco y las saetas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 13:15
Verse 15. Take bow and arrows.] The bow, the arrows, and the smiting on the ground, were all emblematical things, indicative of the deliverance of Israel from Syria.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And Elisha said unto him, take bow and arrows , etc.] The usual instruments of war in those days: and he took unto him bow and arrows; which though they might not be had in the house of the prophet, he could have some from his guards that attended him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-19 - Jehoash, the king, came to Elisha, to receive his dying counsel an blessing. It may turn much to our spiritual advantage, to attend the sick-beds and death-beds of good men, that we may be encouraged in religion by the living comforts they have from it in a dying hour Elisha assured the king of his success; yet he must look up to God for direction and strength; must reckon his own hands not enough, but go on, in dependence upon Divine aid. The trembling hands of the dyin prophet, as they signified the power of God, gave this arrow more forc than the hands of the king in his full strength. By contemning the sign, the king lost the thing signified, to the grief of the dyin prophet. It is a trouble to good men, to see those to whom they wis well, forsake their own mercies, and to see them lose advantage against spiritual enemies.
