2 Rois 5:5-8

Listen to 2 Rois 5:5-8
5 Et le roi de Syrie dit: Pars, va, et j'enverrai une lettre au roi d'Israël. Et il partit, prenant en sa main dix talents d'argent, six mille pièces d'or, et dix robes de rechange.
6 Et il porta au roi d'Israël la lettre, qui disait: Dès que cette lettre te sera parvenue, tu sauras que je t'ai envoyé Naaman, mon serviteur, afin que tu le guérisses de sa lèpre.
7 Dès que le roi d'Israël eut lu la lettre, il déchira ses vêtements et dit: Suis-je Dieu, pour faire mourir ou vivre, que celui-ci envoie vers moi pour guérir un homme de sa lèpre? C'est pourquoi, sachez et voyez qu'il ne cherche qu'une occasion contre moi.
8 Mais quand Élisée, l'homme de Dieu, apprit que le roi d'Israël avait déchiré ses vêtements, il envoya dire au roi: Pourquoi as-tu déchiré tes vêtements? Qu'il vienne seulement vers moi, et il saura qu'il y a un prophète en Israël.

2 Rois 5:5-8 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 5

This chapter gives an account of the leprosy of Naaman the Syrian, and of the cure of it by Elisha; how he came to hear of him, and the recommendation he had from the king of Syria to the king of Israel, 2Ki 5:1-8, who, coming to Elisha's house, was ordered to dip himself seven times in Jordan, which made him depart in wrath; but one of his servants persuaded him to do it, and he did, and was cured, 2Ki 5:9-14, upon which he returned to Elisha, and offered him a present, which he refused, 2Ki 5:15-19 but Gehazi, his servant, ran after him with a lie in his mouth, and obtained it, and returned to his master with another, for which he was smitten with the leprosy of Naaman, 2Ki 5:20-27.
