Clarke's 2-kings 3:17 Bible Commentary
Ye shall not see wind - There shall be no wind to collect vapours, and there shall be no showers, and yet the whole bed of this river, and all the new made canals, shall be filled with water.
Barnes's 2-kings 3:17 Bible Commentary
No rain was to fall where the Israelites and their enemies were encamped; there was not even to be that all but universal accompaniment of rain in the East, a sudden rise of wind (compare 1 Kings 18:45; Psalm 147:18; Matthew 7:25).
Cattle, and your beast - The former are the animals brought for food. The latter are the baggage animals.
