2 Kings 5:3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Would God my Lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria In the kingdom of Samaria; or, rather, in the city of Samaria; where Elisha was when she was taken, and where he commonly resided, though he went to other places as need required. For he would recover him of his leprosy She had heard of the wonderful things which he had done, and therefore was confident he could work this cure. Children should betimes acquaint themselves with the wondrous works of God, that wherever they go they may speak of them, to the profit of others. Yea, and servants, like this little maid, may be blessings to the families in which Providence casts their lot, by telling what they know of the glory of God, and the honour of his ministers.

2 Kings 5:3

3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were withb the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.
