4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said.

2 Kings 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:4

And one went in and told his lord
What the girl had said to her mistress; one of the servants of the house that overheard it; or rather, Naaman went and told his lord the king of Syria; for as this was said to his wife, no doubt she told it to her husband, and not a servant; and the following words require this sense, and is the sense of most Jewish commentators:

saying, thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel;
who for her wit and beauty might be well known at court by the name of the Israelitish girl.

2 Kings 5:4 In-Context

2 Once, when the Arameans went on raids, they had brought back a little girl from Israel. She became the servant of Naaman's wife.

3 The girl told her mistress, "If only my master were with the prophet in Samaria. Then the prophet could cure him of his skin disease."

4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said.

5 The king of Aram said, "You may go. I will also send a letter to the king of Israel." When Naaman left, he took 750 pounds of silver, 150 pounds of gold, and 10 sets of clothing with him.

6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel. It read, "I'm sending my officer Naaman with this letter. Cure him of his skin disease."
