<p class="tab-1">Two more of Elisha’s miracles are recorded in this chapter. I. The cleansing of Naaman, a Syrian, a stranger, from his leprosy, and there, 1. The badness of his case, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.1" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.1">2 Kgs. 5:1</a>. 2. The providence that brought him to Elisha, the intelligence given him by a captive maid, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.2-2Kgs.5.4" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.2-2Kgs.5.4">2 Kgs. 5:2-4</a>. A letter from the king of Syria to the king of Israel, to introduce him, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.5-2Kgs.5.7" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.5-2Kgs.5.7">2 Kgs. 5:5-7</a>. And the invitation Elisha sent him, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.8" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.8">2 Kgs. 5:8</a>. 3. The method prescribed for his cure, his submission, with much ado, to that method, and his cure thereby, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.9-2Kgs.5.14" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.9-2Kgs.5.14">2 Kgs. 5:9-14</a>. 4. The grateful acknowledgments he made to Elisha hereupon, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.15-2Kgs.5.19" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.15-2Kgs.5.19">2 Kgs. 5:15-19</a>. II. The smiting of Gehazi, his own servant, with that leprosy. 1. Gehazi’s sins, which were belying his master to Naaman (<a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.20-2Kgs.5.24" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.20-2Kgs.5.24">2 Kgs. 5:20-24</a>), and lying to his master when he examined him, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.25" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.25">2 Kgs. 5:25</a>. 2. His punishment for these sins. Naaman’s leprosy was entailed on his family, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.26,2Kgs.5.27" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.5.26,2Kgs.5.27"><span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.26">2 Kgs. 5:26</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.5.27">27</span></a>. And, if Naaman’s cure was typical of the calling of the Gentiles, as our Saviour seems to make it (<a class="bibleref" title="Luke.4.27" href="/passage/?search=Luke.4.27">Luke 4:27</a>), Gehazi’s stroke may be looked upon as typical of the blinding and rejecting of the Jews, who envied God’s grace to the Gentiles, as Gehazi envied Elisha’s favour to Naaman.</p>
