What does 2 Kings 5:19 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
2 Kings 5:19
And he said unto him
That is, the prophet said to Naaman:
go in peace:
in peace of mind; be assured that God has pardoned this and all
other transgressions:
so he departed from him a little way;
about a mile, as the Targum, and so other Jewish writers; of this
phrase, (See Gill on Genesis
35:16), some say a land's length, that is, about one
hundred and twenty feet; rather it was a thousand cubits, or half
a mile.
