2 Kings 5:15

Naaman's gratitude. His imperfect knowledge makes his practice imperfect (Not in Chronicles)

15. And he returned to the man of God He was a stranger in Israel, like the Samaritan among the ten lepers whom our Lord cured, but like him he also manifested his thankfulness. He came back with all his company, that the thanksgiving might lose nothing of its fulness, and in the presence of them all, proclaims the new knowledge which he has gained, how he has found that -there is no god who can deliver after this sort".

came, and stood before him His feelings and attitude are alike changed, and so the prophet now shews himself to him. Naaman has begun his lesson in the school of Jehovah and Elisha is ready to encourage his weak steps.

no God in all the earth, but in Israel He has still his notion of different gods assigned to different lands, and does not conceive that Jehovah may be the God of all the earth. He is the God of Israel only, but all that are called gods elsewhere are not to be compared to Him.

take a blessing[R.V. present] of thy servant Because with a present there generally is given good wishes and benediction, the Hebrews frequently used -blessing" as here for -a gift". Thus (Genesis 33:11) Jacob calls the present which he had prepared for Esau by this name. -Take I pray thee, my blessing". Cf. also Judges 1:15; 1 Samuel 25:27; 1 Samuel 30:26 (with margin).
