Commentary on 2 Kings 8:6

Theological / Devotional

A certain officer. Heb. saris, literally, “eunuch.” Men of this type usually cared for the women of Eastern kings (Esther 2:3, 14, 15; 4:5 [translated “chamberlain”]; 2 Kings 9:32). It would be proper for an officer such as this to accompany the woman and see that her interests were properly taken care of.

All the fruits. Not only was the property to be restored to the woman, but she was also to be recompensed for all the produce of the land that was rightfully hers during the years of her absence and for which she had evidently received no return.
