Commentary on 2 Kings 2:5

Theological / Devotional

Sons of the prophets. Centers of the Lord’s work are situated at strategic places. The establishment of a school of the prophets at Jericho was not an accident. Jericho was on an important roadway over which many travelers moved from the regions across the Jordan. At the oasis of Jericho they could stop for rest and refreshment. Here they might come in touch with the disciples at the school of the prophets and receive from them the messages of hope and trust in the Lord which God intended should be carried to all men everywhere.
