SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:8
¶ Tenía el rey de Siria guerra contra Israel, y consultando con sus siervos, dijo: En tal y tal lugar estará mi campamento.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 6:8
Verse 8. The king of Syria warred against Israel] This was probably the same Ben-hadad who is mentioned ver. 24. What was the real or pretended cause of this war we cannot tell; but we may say, in numberless war cases, as Calmet says in this: "An ambitious and restless prince always finds a sufficiency of reasons to colour his enterprises." In such and such a place] The Syrian king had observed, from the disposition of the Israelitish army, in what direction it was about to make its movements; and therefore laid ambuscades where he might surprise it to the greatest advantage.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. Then the king of Syria warred against Israel , etc.] Proclaimed war against him; on what account, or how long it was after Naaman his general came with a letter of recommendation from him to the king of Israel, and had his cure, is not said: and took counsel with his servants ; his privy counsellors, or the general officers of his army: saying, in such and such a place shall be my camp ; in some covered hidden place, as the Targum; where he would lie encamped waiting in ambush, to fall upon the king of Israel unawares, as he and his forces should pass that way; the place, no doubt, was named by the king of Syria, though not recorded by the historian; or, as the words may be rendered, the place of such and such a man ; for, as Ben Melech observes, “peloni almoni” are used of persons whose names are either unknown or concealed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-12 - The king of Israel regarded the warnings Elisha gave him, of dange from the Syrians, but would not heed the warnings of danger from his sins. Such warnings are little heeded by most; they would sav themselves from death, but will not from hell. Nothing that is done said, or thought, by any person, in any place, at any time, is out of God's knowledge.
