His arrival with horses and chariots signifies his wealth, authority, and the seriousness of his condition, as he was seeking healing from leprosy. Horses and chariots were symbols of military might and prestige in ancient Near Eastern cultures, indicating Naaman's importance and the resources at his disposal. This scene contrasts with the humble means of the prophet Elisha, highlighting the difference between worldly power and spiritual authority.<p><b>and stood at the door of Elisha’s house</b><br>Elisha was a prophet in Israel, known for his miracles and as a successor to Elijah. Naaman's standing at the door signifies a moment of humility and expectation, as he seeks help from a foreign prophet despite his high status. This act of standing at the door can be seen as a metaphor for seeking divine intervention and guidance. The location, Elisha's house, suggests simplicity and a departure from the grandeur associated with Naaman's position.

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 <span class="date">B.C. 1600</span>, 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 (<a href="/1_kings/10-29.htm">1 Kings 10:29</a>), 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 <a href="/genesis/41-43.htm">Genesis 41:43</a>; <a href="/genesis/50-9.htm">Genesis 50:9</a>). <span class="cmt_word">And stood at the door of the house of Elisha</span>. 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. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/2_kings/5-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">So Naaman</span><br /><span class="heb">נַעֲמָ֖ן</span> <span class="translit">(na·‘ă·mān)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
