Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - Again also; rather, and again (see the Revised Version). He answered and said; rather, he spoke and said (ἐλάησε καὶ εἴτε, LXX.). Come down quickly. The king has grown impatient. It is conceivable that the death of the first captain with his band of fifty had been kept from him, and that he was only aware of an unaccountable delay. He therefore changes his order from "Come down" to "Come down quickly."

Yet some MSS., and Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, as Authorised Version.Thus hath the king said.--Or, commanded ('?mar).Come down quickly.--"Impudentior fuit hic . . . priore tum quia audito ejus supplicio non resipuit, tum quia auxit impudentiam addendo 'Festina'" (a Lapide). (But see Note on 2Kings 1:12.)
