2 Kings 5:15

15 He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, See now, I know that there is no God in all the eretz, but in Yisra'el: now therefore, please take a present from your servant.

2 Kings 5:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:15

And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company,
&c.] To give him thanks for the advice he had given him, and by him to give thanks to God for the cure he had received; for he was sensible it was from the Lord, his words show:

and came and stood before him;
for being admitted into the prophet's house, instead of the prophet standing before him, as he before expected, he now stood before the prophet in veneration of him, and sensible of his obligation to him:

behold, now I know there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel;
though he did not before, but his cure fully convinced him of it:

I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant;
not a wish of health and happiness, which the prophet would not have refused, but a present; the Targum calls it an offering.

2 Kings 5:15 In-Context

13 His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid you do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? how much rather then, when he says to you, Wash, and be clean?

14 Then went he down, and dipped [himself] seven times in the Yarden, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

15 He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, See now, I know that there is no God in all the eretz, but in Yisra'el: now therefore, please take a present from your servant.

16 But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. He urged him to take it; but he refused.

17 Na`aman said, If not, yet, please let there be given to your servant two mules' burden of eretz; for your servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.
