3 Then one of them said, "Won't you please come with your servants?" "I will," Elisha replied.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
3 Then one of them said, "Be pleased to go with your servants." And he answered, "I will go."
3 One of them then said, "Please! Come along with us!" He said, "Certainly."
3 Then one said, "Please consent to go with your servants." And he answered, "I will go."
3 "Please come with us," someone suggested. "I will," he said.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Kings 6:3
Commentary on 2 Kings 6:1-7
(Read 2 Kings 6:1-7)
There is that pleasantness in the converse of servants of God, which can make those who listen to them forget the pain and the weariness of labour. Even the sons of the prophets must not be unwilling to labour. Let no man think an honest employment a burden or a disgrace. And labour of the head, is as hard, and very often harder, than labour with the hands. We ought to be careful of that which is borrowed, as of our own, because we must do as we would be done by. This man was so respecting the axe-head. And to those who have an honest mind, the sorest grievance of poverty is, not so much their own want and disgrace, as being rendered unable to pay just debts. But the Lord cares for his people in their smallest concerns. And God's grace can thus raise the stony iron heart, which is sunk into the mud of this world, and raise up affections, naturally earthly.
