SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:23

Entonces les fue aparejada grande comida; y cuando habían comido y bebido, los envió, y ellos se volvieron a su señor. Y nunca más vinieron escuadrones de Siria a la tierra de Israel.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 6:23

Verse 23. He prepared great provision for them] These, on the return to their master, could tell him
strange things about the power of the God of Israel, and the magnanimity of its king.

So the bands of Syria came no more] Marauding parties were no more permitted by the Syrian king to make inroads upon Israel. And it is very likely that for some considerable time after this, there was no war between these two nations. What is mentioned in the next verse was more than a year afterwards.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 23. And he prepared great provision for them , etc.] Or a great feast, as the Targum; so obedient was he to the prophet’s orders: and when they had eaten and drank ; and refreshed themselves, which they needed, having marched all night and that morning from place to place: he sent them away ; that is, the king of Israel dismissed them: and they went to their master ; the king of Syria, but without the prophet Elisha they were sent to fetch: so the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel ; not as yet, or for some time; or rather the sense is, that the Syrians came not any more in small bodies, as troops of robbers making excursions, and carrying off booty in a private manner, and by surprise; but afterwards came with a large army in an open hostile manner, as follows.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 13-23 - What
Elisha said to his servant is spoken to all the faithful servant of God, when without are fightings, and within are fears. Fear not with that fear which has torment and amazement; for they that are with us, to protect us, are more than they that are against us, to destro us. The eyes of his body were open, and with them he saw the danger Lord, open the eyes of our faith, that with them we may see the protecting hand. The clearer sight we have of the sovereignty and powe of Heaven, the less we shall fear the troubles of earth. Satan, the go of this world, blinds men's eyes, and so deludes them unto their ow ruin; but when God enlightens their eyes, they see themselves in the midst of their enemies, captives to Satan, and in danger of hell though, before, they thought their condition good. When Elisha had the Syrians at his mercy, he made it appear that he was influenced by Divine goodness as well as Divine power. Let us not be overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. The Syrians saw it was to no purpos to try to assault so great and so good a man.
