Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 6:1

AND the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee , is too strait for us .

Either at Bethel: or, Iericho: or rather, at Gilgal: as may seem from its nearness to the River of Iordan, ver. 2.

Or, before thy face; i. e. under thy inspection and direction; where thou dost frequently dwell with us. Or, to thy face; which may be joyned with the following Words; and so the sense may be this: It is apparent to thy view, that this place is too strait for us.

The number of the Prophets increasing by the gracious Providence of God, and by the Ministry and Miracles of Elijah and Elisha.
