This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Lord will take away thy master: this was revealed to some of the sons of the prophets, and by them to the whole college.
From thy head, Heb. from above thy head; which phrase may respect, either,
1. The manner of sitting in schools, where the scholar sat at his master’s feet, Deu_33:3 Act_22:3. Or,
2. The manner of Elijah’s translation, which was to be by a power sent from heaven, to take him up thither.
Hold ye your peace; do not aggravate my grief, nor divert me with any unseasonable discourses; that I may digest my sorrow, and prepare myself for so great a stroke, and diligently attend all my master’s steps, lest he be snatched away from me whilst I am talking with you; and that I may beg and obtain some great blessing from him before his departure.
