Commentary

Matthew Henry on 2 Kings 7:3-11

We are here told, I. How the siege of Samaria was raised in the evening, at the edge of night (Kg2 7:6, Kg2 7:7), not by might or power, but by the Spirit of the Lord of hosts, striking terror upon the spirits of the besiegers.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 7:8

these lepers . . . did eat and drink--After they had appeased their hunger and secreted as many valuables as they could carry, their consciences smote them for concealing the discovery and they hastened to publish it in the city.

Adam Clarke on 2 Kings 7:6

John Gill on 2 Kings 7:8

And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent,.... The first they came to: and did eat and drink; which was the first thing they did, being hungry, and almost starved: and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; in a place without the camp, where they thought it would be safe, and where they could come at it again: and came again and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it; this, Josephus says (z), they did four times. (z) Ut supra, (Antiqu. l. 9. c. 4.) sect. 5.
