* little children.
The words {n(8983)rim ketannim} not only signify little children
but young men; for {katon} signifies not only little, but
young, in opposition to old; and {n(8483)r} signifies not only a
child, but a young man grown to years of maturity: thus Isaac
is called {n(8483)r} when twenty-eight years old, Joseph when
thirty-nine, and Rehoboam when forty. These idolatrous young
men, having heard of the ascension of Elijah, without
believing it, blasphemously bade Elisha to follow him. The
venerable prophet, from a Divine impulse, pronounced a curse
"in the name of the Lord," which was immediately followed by
the most terrible judgment; thus evincing the Source from
which it flowed.
