2 Kings 5:1 (c) He may be taken as a type of a lost sinner who realizes his need but goes to the wrong place and the wrong person for the remedy. This man did not listen well to his instructions. He went to the king instead of to the prophet. After learning his mistake, he then went to GOD's man, the prophet, who gave him GOD's remedy. At first, he rejected GOD's remedy because it did not agree with his own ideas. Through the persuasion of his servant, he decided to obey the man of GOD, and when he followed those instructions he received the cleansing he desired.
