Baal Shalisha <01190> [Baal-shalisha.]
food ...... loaves of bread <03899> [bread.]
barley <08184> [of barley.]
said <06861 0559> [the husk thereof. or, his scrip, or garment.]
Note: Parched corn, or corn to be parched; full ears before they are ripe, parched on the fire: a very frequent food in the East. The loaves were probably extremely small, as their loaves of bread still are in eastern countries. But small as this may appear, it would be a considerable present in the time of famine; though very inadequate to the number of persons. Baal-shalisha, of which the person who made this seasonable present was an inhabitant, was situated, according to Eusebius and Jerome, fifteen miles north of Diospolis, or Lydda.

healed <02891> [and he was clean.]
2 Kings 6:6
cut off <07094> [he cut down.]
This could have no natural tendency to raise the iron and cause it to swim: it was only a sign, or ceremony, which the prophet chose to employ on the occasion.
ax head <01270> [the iron.]
This was the real miracle; for the gravity of the metal must otherwise still have kept it at the bottom of the river.
2 Kings 6:9-10
sure <08104> [Beware.]
Syria <0758> [thither the Syrians.]
sent ...... place <07971 04725> [sent to the place.]
To see if it were so. But the Vulgate renders, {misit rex Israel ad locum, et pr‘occupavit eum;} "the king of Israel sent to the place, and pre-occupied it;" which is very likely, though not expressed in the Hebrew text.

2 Kings 8:4
king <04428> [the king.]
As it appears not likely that the king would hold conversation with a leprous man; or, that, knowing Gehazi had been dismissed with the highest disgrace from the prophet's service, he would talk with him concerning his late master; some have supposed that this happened before the cleansing of Naaman. But it agrees better with the chronology to consider it as having taken place after that event; the king, probably, having an insatiable curiosity to know the private history of a man who had done such astonishing things. As to the circumstances of Gehazi's disease, he might overlook that, and converse with him, keeping at a reasonable distance, as nothing but actual contact could defile.
