Carmel - Where Elisha held gatherings for religious purposes 2-Kings 4:23-25 during one period of his life, if he did not actually reside there.
And he went from thence to Mount Carmel,.... Where Elijah used to frequent, and where also there might be a school of the prophets; this, according to Bunting (a), was fifty six miles from Bethel:
and from thence he returned to Samaria; the capital of the kingdom of Israel; there to bear his testimony against idolatry, to reprove for it, and reclaim from it; this, as the same writer says (b), was thirty two miles from Carmel.
(a) Travels, &c. p. 206. (b) Ibid.
Elisha went from Bethel to Carmel (see at 1-Kings 18:19), probably to strengthen himself in solitude for the continuation of his master's work. He returned thence to Samaria, where, according to 2-Kings 6:32, he possessed a house.
