Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 4:29

29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins , and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not: and if any salute thee, answer him not again : and lay my staff upon the face of the child .

Tie up thy long Garments about thy Loins for expedition. See 1 King. 18. 46.

An Hyperbolical expression: Make no delays nor stops by the way, neither by words nor actions, but go with all possible speed. Compare Luk. 10. 4. He requires this haste, that the Miracle might be done secretly and speedily before the Childs death was divulged, which might cause many inconveniences. See on ver. 21.

For God can work a Miracle by the most unlikely and contemptible means, as he did by a Rod, Exod. 14. 16. and a Mantle, 2 King. 2. 8.
