Geneva Bible Notes (1560)2 Kings 6

6 b God wroght this miraculously to confirme the autoritie of Elisha, to whome he had giuen suche abundance of his Spirit.

6 ! Elisha maketh yron to swimme aboue the water.

8 ! He discloseth the King of Syrais counsel to the King of Israel.

10 d The wicked conspire nothing so craftely, but God can reueile it to his seruants & cause their counsel to be disclosed.

12 e There is nothing so secret that thou canst go about, but he knoweth it, & discouereth it vnto his King.

14 f Thogh it had bene nothing in mans judgement to haue taken Elisha, yet the wicked euer doute: & thinke thei are neuer able to prepare power ynog, thogh it be but against one, or a fewe.

16 g For he was assured of Gods helpe, & that millions of Angels camped about the godlie to deliuer them.

19 k Thus he did being led by the Spirit of God & not because he soght his wone reuengance, but onely to set forthe the glorie of God.

21 l The wicked vse reuerent & graue wordes towardes the seruants of God, when they thinke to haue anie comoditie by them, thogh in their heart they can not abyde them.

23 m For this gentle intreatie & the miracle wroght by the Prophet, did more preuaile for commune quietnes, then if they had bene ouercome in battel: for they returned no more at that time to fight against Israel, or in that Kings dayes.

30 p Thus hypocrites, when they fele Gods judgements thinke to please him without ward ceremonies, whome in prosperitie they wil not knowe.

33 r So the wicked fall into a rage & desperation, if they finde not ??? deine remedy against these afflictions.
