John Gill Commentary 2 Kings 2:25

"And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria." — 2 Kings 2:25 (ASV)

And he went from there to Mount Carmel
Where Elijah used to frequent, and where also there might be a school of the prophets; this, according to Bunting ^F1 , was fifty six miles from Bethel:

and from there he returned to Samaria ;
the capital of the kingdom of Israel; there to bear his testimony against idolatry, to reprove for it, and reclaim from it; this, as the same writer says ^F2 , was thirty two miles from Carmel.
