2 Re 5:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:2

And the Syrians had gone out by companies
Not regular troops, but a sort of banditti of robbers, which made excursions into the land of Israel, to plunder and carry off what booty they could:

and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid;
for boys and girls were a part of the booty of such robbers, whom they could sell for money, see ( Joel 3:1 ) . Jarchi and Kimchi say she was a girl of Naaron, a city so called:

and she waited on Naaman's wife;
being either made a present of to the general by those plunderers, or was bought by him of them for his wife's service.

2 Re 5:2 In-Context

1 OR Naaman, capo dell’esercito del re di Siria, era uomo grande appo il suo signore, e molto onorato; perciocchè per lui il Signore avea date delle vittorie a’ Siri; ma quest’uomo, possente e prode, era lebbroso.
2 Or alcune schiere de’ Siri uscirono per fare una correria, e menarono prigione dal paese d’Israele una piccola fanciulla; ed ella, essendo al servigio della moglie di Naaman,
3 disse alla sua signora: Piacesse a Dio che il mio signore fosse appresso del profeta, ch’è in Samaria; egli l’avrebbe tosto liberato dalla sua lebbra.
4 E Naaman venne al suo signore, e gli dichiarò la cosa, dicendo: Quella fanciulla, ch’è del paese d’Israele, ha parlato così e così.
5 E il re di Siria gli disse: Or su, vacci; ed io ne manderò lettere al re d’Israele. Egli adunque andò, e prese in mano dieci talenti d’argento, e seimila sicli d’oro, e dieci mute di vestimenti.
