Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 4:28

28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord ? Did not I say, Do not deceive me ?

This Child was not given to me upon my immoderate desire, for which I might have justly been thus chastised, as Rachel was, Gen. 30. 1. compare with 35. 18. but was freely promised to me by thee in Gods Name, and from his special Grace and Favour: and therefore I trust both thou didst pray for it, and God design it as a blessing, and not as an affliction, as now it proves, unless thou dost obtain the Child for me a second time, which I know thou canst do, and I humbly beg thee to do.

With vain hopes of a comfort that I should never have. And I had been much happier if I had never had it, than to lose it so quickly. Therefore thou art in some measure concerned to revive my dead hopes, and to continue to me the great blessing which thou hast procured.
