**Then Elisha.** The Structure (see 2Kings book comments) shows that verses [2 Kings 7:1-2](../../../kjv/2-kings/7/1-2) should be read with [2 Kings 6:33](../../../kjv/2-kings/6/33) .
**the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . measures = seahs. See App-51 .

**leaned.** Compare [2 Kings 5:18](../../../kjv/2-kings/5/18) .
**man of God.** See App-49 .
**thou shalt see it.** Compare verses: [2 Kings 7:19-20](../../../kjv/2-kings/7/19-20) .

**leprous men.** One of the nine cases of affliction with leprosy. See note on [Exodus 4:6](../../../kjv/exodus/4/6) .

**famine.** Compare [2 Kings 6:25](../../../kjv/2-kings/6/25) .
**host** = camp.

**twilight** = darkness. See note on the *Homonym,* [1 Samuel 30:1](../../../kjv/1-samuel/30/1) .

**even** = and. Some codices, with one early printed edition, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "and a noise", as in the two preceding clauses.
**kings of the Hittites.** The Hittites were divided into several tribes, each with its king or chief. Their empire extended from the Euphrates to Asia Minor.
**kings of the Egyptians.** The monuments of this date speak of a large number of names at this time.

**uttermost** = outermost.

**We do not well.** The application of this is full of instruction to others in like circumstances, for all time.
**mischief** = punishment.

**the tents** = their tents. So Septuagint
**as** = just as.

**he called the porters.** The Septuagint, and a special reading called *Sevir* ( App-34 ), read "the porters called".

**that are left . . . Israelites.** These words are repeated by *Homoeoteleuton* (instead of omitted, as is usually the case with *Homoeoteleuton).* They are not in many codices, or Septuagint, Syriac, or Vulgate. This accounts for the parenthesis in Authorized Version.

**king came down.** See note on [2 Kings 6:33](../../../kjv/2-kings/6/33) .

**might such a thing be?** This is the reading of some codices, and four early printed editions, with Septuagint and Syriac. The current Hebrew text reads "could it be according to this word? "
