2 Kings 5:1-19 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable… Naaman was a mighty man, but he was a leper. Every man has some "but" or other in his character — something that blemishes and diminishes him — some alloy in his grandeur — some damp to his joy: he may be very happy — very good; yet, in something or other, not so good as he should be, nor so happy as he would be. (Matthew Henry.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper. |
