Teaching Points Humility Before GodNaaman's account teaches us the importance of approaching God with humility, setting aside our pride and preconceived notions of how God should act. God's Ways Are Not Our Ways Naaman expected a grand healing ceremony, but God chose a simple act to demonstrate His power. We must be open to God's methods, even when they defy our expectations. Faith and Obedience Naaman's healing required him to act in faith and obedience to Elisha's instructions. Our faith is often tested through simple acts of obedience.

The Syrians had had chariots, and used horses to draw them, from a remote date. The Hyksos, who introduced horses and chariots into Egypt, though not exactly a Syrian people, entered Egypt from Syria; and in all the Syrian wars of the Egyptians, which began about B.C. 1600, we find their adversaries employing a chariot force. In one representation of a fight between the Egyptians and a people invading Egypt from' Syria, the war-chariots of the latter are drawn by four oxen; but generally the horse was used on both sides. Syria imported her horses and chariots from Egypt (1 Kings 10:29), and, as appears from this passage, employed them for peaceful as well as for warlike purposes. There was a similar employment of them from a very early time in Egypt (see Genesis 41:43; Genesis 50:9). And stood at the door of the house of Elisha. Elisha was at this time residing in Samaria, whether in his own house or not we cannot say. His abode was probably a humble one; and when the great general, accompanied by his cavalcade of followers, drew up before it, he had, we may be sure, no intention of dismounting and entering. What he expected he tells us himself in ver. 11. The prophet regarded his pride and self-conceit as deserving of a rebuke.Parallel Commentaries ...
