2Kgs 6:23 · Douay-Rheims
“And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.”
On this verse:
“Meats. So the apostle orders us to treat our enemies, Romans xii. 20. — The robbers, these soldiers, who were dismissed. (Haydock) — No more, ( ultra ) or, “no farther,” (Haydock) during this war, or in small troops; but, a little later, Benadad came with all his forces to besiege Samaria. (Tirinus) — He was enraged at Eliseus and Joram, as if they despised his power. (Salien)”
