Kings II 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:9

So Naaman came with his horses, and with his chariot
In his chariot drawn by horses; or "with horsemen and chariots", a great retinue, both for his own grandeur, and for the honour of the prophet, and to make him the more respectable by him:

and stood at the door of the house of Elisha;
who now dwelt at Gilgal, as is probable, see ( 2 Kings 4:38 ) , hither Naaman was directed, and here he stopped; and having sent a messenger to Elisha to acquaint him who he was, and what was his business, he stayed waiting for an answer.
