2 Kings 6:15

the servant The word is the same which in 2 Kings 4:43 was rendered -servitor". It is the special and more personal servant. Hence the R.V. puts -or, minister" in the margin.

a host compassed the city both with horses and chariots R.V. an host with horses and chariots was round about the city. The words are not the same in Hebrew as in the previous verse where -compassed" was used. Literally -an host and horses &c." The horses and chariots were in addition to the footmen, who alone were spoken of in verse 14.
