And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
Le respondieron: 'Era un hombre velludo que llevaba un cinturón de cuero alrededor de la cintura.' Y el rey dijo: 'Ese es Elías de Tisbe.'
El rey Acazías reconoció inmediatamente a Elías por la descripción de su apariencia distintiva.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of 2 Kings, King Ahaziah of Israel sends messengers to consult the pagan god Baal-Zebub after suffering an injury, but they encounter the prophet Elijah on their way. Elijah is described as a hairy man with a leather girdle, which was a typical feature of prophets in ancient Israel, symbolizing their rugged, dedicated lifestyle amid a culture of idolatry. This event occurs during a time of spiritual decline in the Northern Kingdom, highlighting the role of prophets like Elijah in confronting royal unfaithfulness to God.
