2 Kings 1:5

And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said More literally with R.V., And the messengers returned unto him and he said. The pronoun refers to the sick king in Samaria. They could only have gone a little way on their journey, and their early reappearance caused him some surprise.

-The errand is soon done. The messengers are returned ere they go. Not a little were they amazed to hear their secret message from another's mouth, neither could they choose but think: He that can tell what Ahaziah said, what he thought, can foretell how he shall speed. We have met with a greater god than we went to seek. What need we inquire for another answer?" (Bp Hall's Contemplations).

Why are ye now turned back? To accord with the previous clause, render with R.V., Why is it that ye are returned?
