2 Kings 5:18

Rimmon; a Syrian idol, called here by the LXX. Remman, and Acts 7:43 Remphan. On my hand; or, arm, as that word sometimes signifies, both in Scripture and other authors; or, shoulder; upon which the king leaned, either for state or for support. Compare 2 Kings 7:2. When I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon; not in honour to the idol, which I do here, and shall there, openly renounce; but only in compliance with the king's infirmity and conveniency, who cannot well bow if I stand upright. The Lord pardon thy servant in this thing: because there seemed to be an appearance of evil in this action, though done with an honest mind, he desires the prophet's prayers that God would not charge it upon him as idolatry nor be displeased with him for that practice.
