2 Kings 5:18-19
leans <08172> [and he leaneth.]
This verse should probably, as many learned men have supposed, be read in the past, and not in the future tense: "In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my master went into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaned on my hand, and I worshipped in the house of Rimmon; in that I have worshipped in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon thy servant in this thing." Rimmon is supposed by Selden to the same with Elion, a god of the Phoenicians, borrowed undoubtedly from the Elyon of the Hebrews, one of the names of God.
worship .......... bow down <07812> [and I bow.]
Lord forgive ................................... Lord forgive <03068 05545> [the Lord pardon.]
said <0559> [he said.]
peace <07965 03212> [Go in peace.]
short distance <0776 03530> [little way. Heb. a little piece of ground.]
