    • Rashi's Commentary, c. 1075. chabad.org.
    • From the Geneva Notes.
      • "It is not the quantity of bread that satisfies, but the blessing that God gives."
    • From Matthew Henry's Commentary.
      • "When we are receiving the supports and comforts of life, we must keep up an expectation of death, and a fear of sin."
    • From Wesley's Notes.
      • "First fruits - Which were the priests due, Numb 18:12, but these, and probably the rest of the priests dues, were usually brought by the pious Israelites, according to their ability and opportunity, to the Lord's prophets, because they were not permitted to carry them to Jerusalem."
    • From the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
      • "This was not a miracle of Elisha, but only a prediction of one by the word of the Lord. Thus it differed widely from those of Christ."
  • Contemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
    • Commentary, 2 Kings 4:42-44, Elna K. Solvang, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
      • "The passage depicts the miracle of daily existence: human community and holy living are dependent upon the abundant providing of God, human generosity and willingness to share, and attention to equity."
    • 2 Kings 4:42-44, Studies on Old Testament texts from Series B, Ralph W. Klein, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.

    • "The Miracle of the Bread (2 Kings 4:42-44)," by J. Hampton Keathley III at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
      • "The problems we so often face or fail to adequately solve are often caused by the confinement of our perspectives, and our unbelief in the Word. Oh, that we might learn to measure life and deal with its needs not by who we are, but by who and what the Lord is and has promised."
