2 Kings 5:15

Company. — Heb., camp, host. Naaman’s following consisted of “horses and chariots” (2 Kings 5:9).

Came. — Went in: into Elisha’s house. Gratitude overcame awe and dread.

Behold, now. — Behold, I pray thee. The “now” belongs to “behold,” not to “I know.”

I know that... in Israel. — Naaman, like most of his contemporaries, Jewish as well as Syriau, believed in locally restricted deities. The powerlessness of the Syrian gods and the potency of Jehovah having been brought home to his mind by his marvellous recovery, he concludes that there is no god anywhere save in the land of Israel. In other words, his local conception of deity still clings to him. What a mark of historic truth appears in this representation!

Now therefore. — And now.

Take a blessing of. — Accept a present from (Genesis 33:11).
