Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 3:17

"For thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts." — 2 Kings 3:17 (ASV)

Ye shall not see wind. —Which in the east is the usual precursor of rain.

Yet that valley. — And that wady. He says, “that (hû’) valley,” meaning “the one of which I spoke” (2 Kings 3:16). Contrast “this (zeh) valley,” i.e., “the one in which we are” (2 Kings 3:16).

Your cattle. — Miqneh: flocks and herds, as distinguished from “beasts” (bĕhçmâh), i.e., probably, beasts of burden.
