This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gird up thy loins; tie up thy long garments about thy loins for expedition. See 1Ki_18:46. Make no delays nor stops by the way, neither by words nor actions, but go with all possible speed. Compare Luk_10:4. He requires this haste, that the miracle might be done secretly and speedily, before the child’s death was divulged, which might cause many inconveniences. See Poole "2Ki_4:21". Lay my staff upon the face of the child; for God can work a miracle by the most unlikely and contemptible means, as he did by a rod, Exo_14:16, and a mantle, 2Ki_2:8.
