Gehazi, abusing his master's name unto Naaman, is smitten with leprosy But Naaman went away angry Naaman, a commander of the army of the king of Aram, is introduced here with a strong emotional reaction. The Hebrew word for "angry" is "qatsaph," which conveys a sense of burning anger or indignation. This reaction is significant as it reveals Naaman's expectations and pride. Historically, Naaman was a man of high status and power, accustomed to respect and deference. His anger reflects his disappointment and the challenge to his pride when Elisha, the prophet, did not meet him personally but sent a messenger instead. and said, “I thought ‘He would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God wave his hand over the spot and cure my leprosy.’” I thought.--I said to myself. Strike his hand.--Rather, wave his hand towards the place. (Comp. Isaiah 10:15; Isaiah 11:15.) He would not touch the unclean place. Recover the leper.--Or, take away the leprous (part). So Thenius; but everywhere else m?c?r?' means "leprous man," "leper" (Leviticus 14:2). Verse 11. - But Naaman was wroth... and said. Not unnaturally. As a "great man," the lord on whose arm the king leant, and the captain of the host of Syria, Naaman was accustomed to extreme deference, and all the outward tokens of respect and reverence. He had, moreover, come with a goodly train, carrying gold and silver and rich stuffs, manifestly prepared to pay largely for whatever benefit he might receive. To be curtly told, "Go, wash in Jordan," by the prophet's servant, without the prophet himself condescending to make himself visible, would have been trying to any Oriental's temper, and to one of Naaman's rank and position might well seem an insult. The Syrian general had pictured to himself a very different scene. Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the Name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper; rather, take away the leprosy (ἀποσυνάξει τὸ λεπρόν, LXX.). Naaman had imagined a striking scene, whereof he was to be the central figure, the prophet descending, with perhaps a wand of office, the attendants drawn up on either side, the passers-by standing to gaze - a solemn invocation of the Deity, a waving to and fro of the wand in the prophet's hand, and a sudden manifest cure, wrought in the open street of the city, before the eyes of men, and at once noised abroad through the capital, so as to make him "the observed of all observers, the cynosure of all neighboring eyes." Instead of this, he is bidden to go as he came, to ride twenty miles to the stream of the Jordan, generally muddy, or at least discolored, and there to wash himself, with none to look on but his own attendants, with no eclat, no pomp or circumstance, no glory of surroundings. It is not surprising that he was disappointed and vexed.Parallel Commentaries ...
