Wesley's Notes for 2 Kings 6:15

6:16 They - Angels, unspeakably more numerous, God, infinitely more powerful.

6:17 He saw, &c. - Fire is both dreadful and devouring: that power which was engaged for Elisha, could both terrify and consume the assailants. Elijah gave a specimen of Divine justice, when he called for flames of fire on the heads of his persecutors to consume them. Elisha gives a specimen of Divine mercy, in heaping coals of fire on the heads of his persecutors to melt them.
