30<\/strong>. I will not leave thee<\/em> ] Whether the staff sent by Gehazi may have an effect, she cannot know. Her only security is in Elisha’s presence, and with him she will return to her desolated home. It seems as though the prophet had not at first intended to go with her, but she will take no refusal, so he prepares for the journey. ‘She, not regarding the staff or the man, holds fast to Elisha. No hopes of his message can loose her fingers. She imagined that the servant, the staff, might be severed from Elisha: she knew that wherever the prophet was, there was power’ (Bp Hall).<\/p>\n Verse 30. I will not leave thee.<\/B><\/I>] The prophet it seems had no design to accompany her; he intended to wait for Gehazi’s return; but as the woman was well assured the child was dead<\/I>, she was determined not to return till she brought the prophet with her.<\/P> <\/p>\n I will not leave thee, <\/B>until thou goest home with me. For she had no great confidence in Gehazi, nor was her faith so strong as to think that the prophet could work so great a miracle at this distance, and by his staff; which possibly was one reason why this did no good. Compare Mat 9:18<\/span>; 13:58<\/span>; 17:20<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And the mother of the child said<\/strong>,…. Having no faith in what the servant was to do, or could do:<\/p>\n as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee<\/strong>; signifying she would not go with his servant, but insisted upon it that he himself went with her, or she would not depart:<\/p>\n and he arose, and followed her<\/strong>; influenced by her importunity, and a sense of favours he had received from her, and more especially by the Spirit of God.<\/p>\n (30) I will not leave thee.<\/strong>She wished the prophet himself to go to her child. The writer appropriately substitutes the mother of the child for the Shunammite or the woman in connection with this impassioned utterance, which induced the prophet to yield to her wishes.<\/p>\n 30<\/strong>. <\/strong> I will not leave thee <\/strong> After the heartless attempt of Gehazi to thrust her away from the prophet’s presence, (2Ki 4:27<\/span>,) she has no confidence in his ministry, even though he carry the staff of Elisha. Sacred vestments and a holy commission will not command the confidence of earnest souls, unless they be associated with a minister who himself gives evidence of a true and tender heart.<\/p>\n 2Ki 4:30 And the mother of the child said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.<\/p>\n Ver. 30. And he arose, and followed her.<\/strong> ] As our Saviour also, upon a like occasion, arose and followed Jairus, Mat 9:18-19 not taking offence at his weak faith, nor turning him off, as presuming to prescribe.<\/p>\n thy soul = thou. <\/p>\n As the Lord: 2Ki 2:2, 2Ki 2:4 <\/p>\n I will not: Exo 33:12-16, Rth 1:16-18 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Sa 1:26 – as thy soul 2Sa 15:21 – As the Lord 1Ki 1:29 – As the<\/p>\n 2Ki 4:30. And the mother of the child said, I will not leave thee Until thou goest with me; for she had no great confidence in Gehazi, nor was her faith so strong as to think that the prophet could work so great a miracle at that distance, and by his staff. And he arose, and followed her Being overcome by her importunity, and his tenderness toward so great a friend.<\/p>\n And the mother of the child said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her. 30. I will not leave thee ] Whether the staff sent by Gehazi may have an effect, she cannot know.
