Scripture focus
In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, [that] when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.
2 Kings 5:18 — KJV
The Lord pardon. While Naaman purposed to serve God, he knew that in his own country, which was devoted to the worship of idols, this would not be easy. The king of Syria still worshiped the god Rimmon, and in this service Naaman would be an attendant of the king. Naaman had no thought of turning his back on the service of his earthly king, although he had definitely made up his mind that henceforth he would worship only the Lord. But as the king bowed in worship to Rimmon, he would lean on Naaman’s arm (see ch. 7:2, 17). Naaman did not wish to be understood as also bowing in worship to the heathen god. Having given his heart to Jehovah, he had no intention of compromising his faith by also worshiping Rimmon, nor did he want word to get back to Elisha that he was so doing. He was a man of tender conscience, and before taking his departure from Israel wished to make clear his scruples.
