From Pride to Humility

Commentators highlight the dramatic change in Naaman's demeanor. Initially expecting the prophet to come to him, he now returns—traveling a great distance out of his way—and stands humbly before Elisha (Gill, Barnes). This outward change in posture reflects a profound inner transformation from an arrogant commander to a grateful servant, demonstrating how an encounter with God's power changes the heart.
