Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria. The otiose repetition of almost the whole of ver. 1 can only be explained as a mode of emphasizing, and so impressing upon the reader two main points: (1) Elisha's prophetic powers; and (2) the dreadful consequences that follow on scornful rejection of a message from God (see the comment on ver. 2).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) To the king.--The LXX. and Syriac have, "to the messenger." (See Note on 2Kings 6:23.)In this and the following verse the author repeats the prediction and its fulfilment with obvious satisfaction. The moral is a warning against unbelief.
