Commentary

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
**12-15. there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet--**That prophet's translation having taken place in the reign of Jehoshaphat [2Ki 2:11, 12], we must conclude that the name of Elijah has, by the error of a transcriber, been put for that of Elisha.
