Commentary
Commentary on 2 Kings 1:8
Theological / DevotionalAn hairy man. The words probably denote a man with flowing locks, abundant beard, and general profusion of hair, or the reference may be to Elijah’s garment of hair.
A girdle of leather. This was a rough garment of skin. The Jews generally wore garments of wool or linen, which were soft and comfortable, but these would not have been suitable to Elijah in the difficult circumstances under which he was forced to live. John the Baptist wore a garment of camel’s hair and a leathern girdle (Matt. 3:4), like his forerunner.
