ויפצרו בו עד בש ויאמר שלחו וישלחו חמשים איש ויבקשו שלשה ימים ולא מצאהו
וַיִּפְצְרוּ־בֹ֥ו עַד־בֹּ֖שׁ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שְׁלָ֑חוּ וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ֙ חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים אִ֔ישׁ וַיְבַקְשׁ֥וּ שְׁלֹשָֽׁה־יָמִ֖ים וְלֹ֥א מְצָאֻֽהוּ ׃
וַיִּפְצְרוּ־בוֹ עַד־בֹּשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁלָחוּ וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ חֲמִשִּׁים אִישׁ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ שְׁלֹשָֽׁה־יָמִים וְלֹא מְצָאֻֽהוּ ׃
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
they urged: 2 Samuel 18:22, 2 Samuel 18:23, Luke 11:8, Romans 10:2
found him not: Hebrews 11:5
Reciprocal: Genesis 33:11 - urged him 2 Kings 2:7 - fifty men 2 Kings 5:23 - And he urged him John 8:21 - I go
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when they urged him until he was ashamed,.... To deny them any longer, being so very pressing and importunate:
he said, send; lest they should think he had not the respect for his master he should have had; or was so fond of his office, that he did not choose he should be found alive if he could, and return and reassume it:
they sent therefore fifty men; some one way, and some another:
and they sought three days, but found him not; and then returned.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Till he was ashamed - i. e. to refuse them any longer.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 2:17. Till he was ashamed — He saw they would not be satisfied unless they made the proposed search; he felt therefore that he could not, with any good grace, resist their importunity any longer.
