Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 7:19

"and that captain answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? and he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof:" — 2 Kings 7:19 (ASV)

That lord. — The adjutant.

Now. — And.

Might such a thing be? — Literally, Might it happen according to this word? But the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, with many Hebrew manuscripts, read, as in 2 Kings 7:2, Might this thing (or word) be?
