2 Kings 2:23
Bethel <01008> [Beth-el.]
young boys <06996 05288> [little children.]
The words {n‰ƒrim ketannim} not only signify little children but young men; for {katon} signifies not only little, but young, in opposition to old; and {n„ƒr} signifies not only a child, but a young man grown to years of maturity: thus Isaac is called {n„ƒr} when twenty-eight years old, Joseph when thirty-nine, and Rehoboam when forty. These idolatrous young men, having heard of the ascension of Elijah, without believing it, blasphemously bade Elisha to follow him. The venerable prophet, from a Divine impulse, pronounced a curse "in the name of the Lord," which was immediately followed by the most terrible judgment; thus evincing the Source from which it flowed.

went up ......... traveling up .................. Go on up ... Go on up <05927> [Go up.]
2 Kings 5:18
leans <08172> [and he leaneth.]
This verse should probably, as many learned men have supposed, be read in the past, and not in the future tense: "In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my master went into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaned on my hand, and I worshipped in the house of Rimmon; in that I have worshipped in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon thy servant in this thing." Rimmon is supposed by Selden to the same with Elion, a god of the Phoenicians, borrowed undoubtedly from the Elyon of the Hebrews, one of the names of God.

each one <0259 0376> [of each man, etc.]
Or, rather, as Bishop Patrick renders, "to give to the king of Assyria fifty shekels of silver for each man," i.e., in his army. It may be supposed, that Menahem compelled "the mighty men of wealth" to give much more a-piece than this sum, (somewhat about 5Å“. sterling each) and each of them in some proportion to his affluence.
