Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And so it fell out unto him,.... As the prophet predicted:
for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died; See Gill on 2-Kings 7:17.

And so it fell out, &c. - See how heinously God resents our distrust of his power, providence and promise! Whenever God promises the end, he knows where to provide the means.
