5:1 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; 99:1-2; Rom 13:1). • from leprosy: Naaman’s access to society and Gehazi’s later social freedom (2 Kgs 8:4-5) suggest that the problem was not Hansen’s disease but another incurable skin disease (see Lev 13:10-11, 45-46).
