Verse 11
(11) Again also he sent.—Although he had heard what had befallen his former envoys.
He answered.—LXX., “went up” (way-ya’al for way-ya’an), as in 2 Kings 1:9; 2 Kings 1:13.
And said.—Heb., spake. Yet some MSS., and Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, as Authorised Version.
Thus hath the king said.—Or, commanded (’âmar).
Come down quickly.—“Impudentior fuit hic . . . priore; tum quia audito ejus supplicio non resipuit, tum quia auxit impudentiam addendo ‘Festina’” (a Lapide). (But see Note on 2 Kings 1:12.)
