Haydock's commentary
Overcome. Or "escape." (Greek; Syriac) He knew what Giezi and the Syrians were doing, at a distance, 4 Kings v. 26., and vi. 12.
Prophesied. Or raised the dead to life, 4 Kings xiii. 21. (Calmet)
On his death-bed (ver. 15.) he also foretold the victory of Joas, ibid. 14.[4 Kings xiii. 14.?] (Vatable, &c.)
The miracle wrought by his relics (Haydock) shewed that he was a true prophet. (Worthington)
