• Let him come now to me and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel:—a word suited to reach the king’s conscience and condemn him. Did he know to whom he should direct Naaman?

His lifeless profession exposed him to the judgment of God more than did the ignorance of Syria’s idolatrous monarch. (“Naaman: 2 Kings 5” by H.L. Rossier)
