Commentary on 2 Kings 8:15

Theological / Devotional

Took a thick cloth. Probably the coverlet that was at the head of the bed. He spread it on Benhadad’s face, thus suffocating him. Undoubtedly this was done in such a way as to make it appear accidental, or as if the king had died a natural death.
