2 Kings 1:7

What manner of manwas he?] The Hebrew noun which is usually rendered -judgement" is applied sometimes to external appearances of things. Thus Exodus 26:30, -Thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashionthereof which was shewed thee". From the answer of the messengers it is clear that the dress and external peculiarities are what is here meant. From them Ahaziah was able to judgewho the man must be.
