SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:11
Y Naamán se fue enojado, diciendo: He aquí yo decía para mí: Saldrá él luego, y estando en pie invocará el nombre del SEÑOR su Dios, y alzará su mano, y tocará el lugar, y sanará la lepra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 5:11
Verse 11. Naaman was wroth] And why? Because the prophet treated him without ceremony; and because he appointed him an expenseless and simple mode of cure. Behold, I thought] God's ways are not as our ways; he appoints that mode of cure which he knows to be best. Naaman expected to be treated with great ceremony; and instead of humbling himself before the Lord's prophet, he expected the prophet of the Lord to humble himself before him! Behold l thought;-and what did he think? Hear his words, for they are all very emphatic:-1. "I thought, He will surely come OUT to ME. He will never make his servant the medium of communication between ME and himself. 2. And stand-present himself before me, and stand as a servant to hear the orders of his God. 3. And call on the name of Jehovah HIS God; so that both his God and himself shall appear to do me service and honour.
4. And strike his hand over the place; for can it be supposed that any healing virtue can be conveyed without contact? Had he done these things, then the leper might have been recovered."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. But Naaman was wroth with him , etc.] On more accounts than one: and went away ; not to Jordan, but from the prophet’s house, with an intention to return to his own country: behold, I thought, he will surely come out to me this he said within himself, making no doubt of it but that he would show him so much respect and civility as to come out of his house to him, and converse with him, or invite him into it and not doing this was one thing made him wroth: and stand; he supposed that he would not only come out, but stand before him, as inferiors before their superiors in reverence, but instead of that he remained sitting within doors: and call on the name of the Lord his God : he expected, that as he was a prophet of the Lord, that he would have prayed to him for the cure of him: and strike his hand over the place ; wave his hand to and fro, as the word signifies, over the place of the leprosy, as the Targum, over the place affected with it; or towards the place where he worshipped the Lord, as Ben Gersom, toward the temple at Jerusalem; or towards Jordan, the place where he bid him go and wash, as Abarbinel; but the first sense seems best: “and recover the leper”; meaning himself, heal him by the use of such means and rites.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-14 - Elisha knew Naaman to be a proud man, and he would let him know, tha before the great God all men stand upon the same level. All God' commands make trial of men's spirits, especially those which direct sinner how to apply for the blessings of salvation. See in Naaman the folly of pride; a cure will not content him, unless he be cured with pomp and parade. He scorns to be healed, unless he be humoured. The way by which a sinner is received and made holy, through the blood, and by the Spirit of Christ, through faith alone in his name, does no sufficiently humour or employ self, to please the sinner's heart. Huma wisdom thinks it can supply wiser and better methods of cleansing Observe, masters should be willing to hear reason. As we should be dea to the counsel of the ungodly, though given by great and respecte names, so we are to have our ears open to good advice, though brough by those below us. Wouldst thou not do any thing? When diseased sinner are content to do any thing, to submit to any thing, to part with an thing, for a cure, then, and not till then, is there any hope of them The methods for the healing of the leprosy of sin, are so plain, tha we are without excuse if we do not observe them. It is but, Believe and be saved; Repent, and be pardoned; Wash, and be clean. The believe applies for salvation, not neglecting, altering, or adding to the Saviour's directions; he is thus made clean from guilt, while others who neglect them, live and die in the leprosy of sin.
