This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_4:29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
Ver. 29. If thou meet any man, salute him not.] Stand not tattling, much less cracking, that thou shalt with that staff of mine raise a dead child. Some Rabbis think Gehazi did so; {a} and thence that means proved ineffectual. But it seemeth rather to be the mother’s unbelief that made it so.
{a} Ridebat Gehazi dicendo obviis, Credisne baculum istum vitam restituere? - R. Eliezer, cap. 33.
