How preachers through history handled this text
8 public-domain excerpts on 2 Kings 13, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“God has many ways to chastise a provoking people. Trouble comes sometimes from that point whence we least feared it. The mention of this invasion on the death of Elisha, shows that the removal of God's faithful prophets is a presage of coming judgments. His dead body was a means of giving life to another dead body. This miracle was a confirmation of his prophecies. And it may have reference to Christ, by whose death and burial, the grave is made a safe and happy passage to life to all believers. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Kings 13:20–30 (Public Domain)
