B.—The healing of Naaman, punishment of Gehazi, and recovery of a lost axe2 Kings 5:1 to 2 Kings 6:71Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable [honored], because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper. 2And the Syrians had gone out by companies [in marauding bands], and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. 3And... read more

the Cure for Leprosy 2 Kings 5:1-14 From Assyrian monuments we learn that at this period Syria regained her independence from under the yoke of Assyria, and probably it was during this struggle that Naaman gained his great victories. Note the suggestiveness of the phrase, “The Lord had given,” which teaches that the hand of God was guiding heathen as well as Hebrew history. The realm of God’s providence is as long as time, and as broad as the earth. The destruction of this poor child’s home... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 5:1-27

When Elijah had felt that he alone was left loyal to God he had been told of seven thousand who had not bowed the knee to Baal. One of these, or perchance the child of one, stands before us in this narrative in the person of the little maid who, carried captive, yet remembered the prophet of her own land and maintained her coincidence in his ability to work wonders. Through her intervention the leper Naaman was sent by the king of Syria to the king of Israel, but the day of the king in Israel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 5:1-27

SECTION 8. The Wonder-working Ministry Of Elisha (2 Kings 4:1 to 2 Kings 8:15 ) It will be noted that from this point on, until 2 Kings 8:15, no king of Israel is mentioned by name, even though, for example, Naaman’s name is given in chapter 5, and Ben-hadad, the king of Aram, is mentioned in 2 Kings 6:24; 2 Kings 8:7. (The reign of Jehoram then recommences in 2 Kings 8:16). It is clear that the prophetic author was concerned at this point that our attention should be taken away from the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 5:1-27

2 Kings 5:1-Daniel : . Naaman Healed of his Leprosy.— This story, familiar to all, presupposes a time of peace between Israel and Syria. As in 1 Kings 20, the king of Syria addresses the king of Israel (unnamed here) as his vassal ( 2 Kings 5:6 ff.). Elisha was living in Samaria, apparently in his own house. Naaman, on being healed, returned to Elisha, who refused to take any present, using Elijah’ s formula ( 1 Kings 17:1 *). Naaman thereupon declared himself a worshipper of Yahweh (it is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Kings 5:5

The king of Israel; Jehoram the son of Ahab, 2 Kings 3:1. I will send a letter unto the king of Israel, desiring him to obtain this favour from the prophet. Ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold; partly for the charges of his journey; and partly for presents to the prophet, or others, as he saw fit. read more

NAAMAN, THE SYRIAN LEPERCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 5:1. Naaman was a great man with his master—גִּבּוֹר חַיִל does not refer to mere physical force, but to the high esteem in which he was held at Court. Lord had given deliverances unto Syria—Not victories only, but national prestige, advantages, and prosperity. 2 Kings 5:2. By companies—Maranding bands. These went out on predatory incursions. 2 Kings 5:3. Would God—אַחֲלַי should be (as in Psalms 119:5), “O! that,” an optative... read more

2 Kings 5:1-14 The little Hebrew maid was torn from her mother and her playmates at the age of seven or eight, and hurried amid all the alarms of war to a foreign land, robbed at once of home, of freedom, and of childhood. Notice: I. Her faith in God. In that land of idols and idolaters she was not ashamed to own her Lord. She had full confidence that Israel's God could cure the leper. II. Her faithfulness. She had so much of the true faith that it filled her whole nature, and made her faithful... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 5:1-27

Now Naaman was the captain of the host of Syria, he was a great man with his master, he was honorable, because the LORD had actually helped him to subdue many nations. He was a mighty man and very brave, but he was a leper. And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and brought away captives out of the land of Israel and a little maid happened to be the servant of his wife. And she said, It's too bad your husband isn't with the prophet there in Israel, because he could heal him of his leprosy.... read more

2 Kings 5:8 . When Elisha heard that the king had rent his clothes, he laid the case before the Lord and received his instruction how to proceed. 2 Kings 5:10 . Elisha sent a messenger, to cure Naaman first of his pride, before he cleansed his leprosy. Faith must act on the promise; the woman believed that she must touch the hem of the Saviour’s garment. 2 Kings 5:12 . Abana rises in the mountains of Anti-libanus, and waters Damascus. Pharpar, according to ancient maps, is a... read more
