Commentary on 2 Kings 2:202 voices

Put salt - A most improper remedy; for salt naturally makes waters brackish, and lands barren. Hereby therefore he would shew, that this was effected solely by the Divine power, which could work either without means, or against them.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
And he said, bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein,.... One that had never been used, that it might not be thought that the virtue was owing to anything that had been, or was, put into it: and they brought it to him; the pot with the salt in it.
