Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Saved himself - Rather, he "was ware." The verb used is the same which is translated "beware" in the preceding verse.

Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Sent to the place - To see if it were so. But the Vulgate gives it quite a different turn: Misit rex Israel ad locum, et praeoccupavit eum. The king of Israel sent previously to the place, and took possession of it; and thus the Syrians were disappointed. This is very likely, though it is not expressed in the Hebrew text. The prophet knew the Syrians marked such a place; he told the king of Israel, and he hastened and sent a party of troops to pre-occupy it; and thus the Syrians found that their designs had been detected.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him, and warned him of,.... Sent spies thither to see whether the Syrians were there or not, and whether it was truth the man of God told him; for he had no hearty respect for the prophet, though he had been so serviceable to him:

and saved himself there, not once, nor twice; escaped the snares the king of Syria laid for him, not once, nor twice only, but many times.

Geneva Study Bible

And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and {d} saved himself there, not once nor twice.

(d) The wicked conspire nothing so craftily, but God can reveal it to his servants, and cause their counsel to be disclosed.

6:10 Sent - Soldiers to secure the place and passage designed.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

6:8-12 The king of Israel regarded the warnings Elisha gave him, of danger from the Syrians, but would not heed the warnings of danger from his sins. Such warnings are little heeded by most; they would save themselves from death, but will not from hell. Nothing that is done, said, or thought, by any person, in any place, at any time, is out of God's knowledge.

2 Kings 6:9 The man of God sent word to the king of Israel: "Beware of passing that place, because the Arameans are going down there."

2 Kings 6:11 This enraged the king of Aram. He summoned his officers and demanded of them, "Will you not tell me which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?"

Jeremiah 11:18 Because the LORD revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing.
