‏ 2 Kings 5:1

5:1  a The king of Aram was probably Ben-hadad II (860–843 BC).

• the Lord had given Aram great victories: The Lord is sovereign over all nations (Pss 47:8  b; 99:1-2  c; Rom 13:1  d).

• from leprosy: Naaman’s access to society and Gehazi’s later social freedom (2 Kgs 8:4-5  e) suggest that the problem was not Hansen’s disease but another incurable skin disease (see Lev 13:10-11  f, 45-46  g).
