Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he answered, fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. Meaning the legions of angels that encamped around them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They that be with us ... - Elisha gave utterance to the conviction of all God’s saints when the world persecutes them (compare marginal references). God - they know - is on their side; they need “not fear what flesh can do unto them.” His angels - an innumerable host - are ever guarding those who love Him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 6:16. For they that be with us are more, &c. — What astonishing intercourse had this man with heaven! It seems the whole heavenly host had it in commission to help him.
