Naaman is the speaker in this verse, expressing concern about his duties in a pagan temple after his conversion to worship the God of Israel. 2. Elisha A prophet in Israel who, through God's power, healed Naaman of his leprosy. Elisha's role in this chapter is pivotal as he demonstrates God's power and mercy to a foreigner. 3. Rimmon A Syrian god worshiped in Damascus. Naaman's concern is about participating in the worship of Rimmon due to his official duties, despite his newfound faith in the God of Israel. 4.

Naaman is required to accompany his master there, which creates a conflict for him as a new believer in the God of Israel. 5. The King of Aram Naaman's master, who worships in the temple of Rimmon.

Teaching Points Conscience and Cultural ContextNaaman's request for forgiveness highlights the tension between cultural obligations and personal faith. Believers today may face similar challenges in balancing societal expectations with their commitment to God. God's Grace and Understanding Naaman's plea for forgiveness shows an understanding of God's grace. It reminds us that God knows our hearts and the complexities of our situations, offering forgiveness when we seek it sincerely. Witness in a Pagan World Naaman's situation encourages believers to consider how they can maintain their witness in environments that do not honor God. It challenges us to find ways to stand firm in our faith while navigating worldly responsibilities. The Role of Accountability Naaman's conversation with Elisha suggests the importance of seeking guidance and accountability from spiritual leaders when facing moral dilemmas. Faith and Compromise This passage invites reflection on where we might be tempted to compromise our faith and how we can seek God's strength to remain faithful. Bible Study Questions and Answers 1.

(18) In this thing.--Touching this thing (but in at the end of the verse). The LXX. and Syriac read, "and touching this thing," an improvement in the connection. To worship.--To bow down (the same verb occurs thrice in the verse). The house of Rimmon.--The Assyrian Rammanu (from ram?mu, "to thunder"). One of his epithets in the cuneiform is Ramimu, "the thunderer;" and another is Barqu (=Bariqu), "he who lightens." Rimmon was the god of the atmosphere, called in Accadian, AN. IM ("god of the air or wind"), figured on bas-reliefs and cylinders as armed with the thunderbolt. His name is prominent in the story of the Flood (e.g., it is said Rammanu irmum, "Rimmon thundered"); and one of his standing titles is Rahicu ("he who deluges"). The Assyrians identified Ramman with the Aramean and Edomite Hadad. (Comp. the name Hadad-rimmon, Zechariah 12:11; and Tabrimon, 1Kings 15:18.) A list of no fewer than forty-one titles of Rimmon has been found among the cuneiform tablets. Leaneth on my hand.--A metaphor denoting the attendance on the king by his favourite grandee or principal adjutant. (Comp. 2Kings 7:2; 2Kings 7:17.) . . . Verse 18. - In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant. Naaman is not prepared to be a martyr for his religion. On returning to Damascus, it will be among his civil duties to accompany his master to the national temples, and to prostrate himself before the images of the national deities. If he declines, if (like an early Christian) he will not enter "the house of devils," much less bow down before the graven image of a false god, it may cost him his life; it will certainly cost him his court favor. For such a sacrifice he is not prepared. Yet his conscience tells him that he will be acting wrongly. He therefore expresses a hope, or a prayer, that his fault, for a fault he feels that it will be, may be forgiven him - that Jehovah will not be "extreme to mark what is done amiss," but will excuse his outward conformity to his inward faith and zeal. That when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon. Riminon is probably derived from rum (רוּם), "to be high," and means "the exalted god," according to the gloss of He-sychins - Ράμας ὕψιστος θεός. It is wrongly connected with רִטּון, "a pomegranate," and should rather be compared with the Arabic Er Rhaman, "the Most High." The royal name, "Tab-Bitumen" (1 Kings 15:18), contains the root, as does also the local name (Zechariah 12:11), "Hadad-Rimmon." This last word gives rise to the suspicion that Hadad and Rimmon are merely two names of the same deity, who was called "Hadad" or "Hadar" as bright and glorious, "Rim-men" as lofty and exalted. To worship there, and he leaneth on my hand. Either Naaman's leprosy must have been recent, and he refers to the king's practice in former times, or there must have been far less horror of leprosy among the Syrians than there was among the Hebrews. And I bow myself in the house of Rimmon - before the image, or at any rate before the supposed presence of the god - when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon thy servant in this thing. The repetition of the clause indicates Naaman's anxiety on the subject. Naaman, freshly healed and converted, anticipates an unavoidable conflict between his new faith and his civic duties. He openly confesses the dilemma and appeals to the LORD’s forgiving character, demonstrating humility, discernment, and dependence on grace. Elisha’s assurance, “Go in peace,” confirms that God honors a contrite heart determined to remain loyal even in hostile environments. The verse invites believers today to bring every conscience struggle to the Lord, trusting His mercy while striving for uncompromised devotion.Parallel Commentaries ...
