19 And he said H559 unto him, Go H3212 in peace. H7965 So he departed H3212 from him a little H3530 way. H776
Then Eli H5941 answered H6030 and said, H559 Go H3212 in peace: H7965 and the God H430 of Israel H3478 grant H5414 thee thy petition H7596 that thou hast asked H7592 of him.
And Moses H4872 went H3212 and returned H7725 to Jethro H3500 his father in law, H2859 and said H559 unto him, Let me go, H3212 I pray thee, and return H7725 unto my brethren H251 which are in Egypt, H4714 and see H7200 whether they be yet H5750 alive. H2416 And Jethro H3503 said H559 to Moses, H4872 Go H3212 in peace. H7965
And they journeyed H5265 from Bethel; H1008 and there was but H5750 a little H3530 way H776 to come H935 to Ephrath: H672 and Rachel H7354 travailed, H3205 and she had hard H7185 labour. H3205
So David H1732 received H3947 of her hand H3027 that which she had brought H935 him, and said H559 unto her, Go up H5927 in peace H7965 to thine house; H1004 see, H7200 I have hearkened H8085 to thy voice, H6963 and have accepted H5375 thy person. H6440
G1161 No man G3762 putteth G1911 a piece G1915 of new G46 cloth G4470 unto G1909 an old G3820 garment, G2440 for G1063 that which is put in to fill it up G4138 taketh G142 G846 from G575 the garment, G2440 and G2532 the rent G4978 is made G1096 worse. G5501 Neither G3761 do men put G906 new G3501 wine G3631 into G1519 old G3820 bottles: G779 else G1490 the bottles G779 break, G4486 and G2532 the wine G3631 runneth out, G1632 and G2532 the bottles G779 perish: G622 but G235 they put G906 new G3501 wine G3631 into G1519 new G2537 bottles, G779 and G2532 both G297 are preserved. G4933
And G1161 he said G2036 to G4314 the woman, G1135 Thy G4675 faith G4102 hath saved G4982 thee; G4571 go G4198 in G1519 peace. G1515
I have fed G4222 you G5209 with milk, G1051 and G2532 not G3756 with meat: G1033 for G1063 hitherto G3768 ye were G1410 not G3768 able G1410 to bear it, neither G235 G3777 yet G2089 now G3568 are ye able. G1410
For G1063 every one G3956 that useth G3348 milk G1051 is unskilful G552 in the word G3056 of righteousness: G1343 for G1063 he is G2076 a babe. G3516 But G1161 strong G4731 meat G5160 belongeth to them that are G2076 of full age, G5046 even those who by reason G1223 of use G1838 have G2192 their senses G145 exercised G1128 to G4314 discern G1253 both G5037 good G2570 and G2532 evil.

Commentary on 2 Kings 5 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 5
Two more of Elisha's miracles are recorded in this chapter.
2Ki 5:1-8
Our saviour's miracles were intended for the lost sheep of the house of Israel, yet one, like a crumb, fell from the table to a woman of Canaan; so this one miracle Elisha wrought for Naaman, a Syrian; for God does good to all, and will have all men to be saved. Here is,
2Ki 5:9-14
We have here the cure of Naaman's leprosy.
2Ki 5:15-19
Of the ten lepers that our Saviour cleansed, the only one that returned to give thanks was a Samaritan, Lu. 17:16. This Syrian did so, and here expresses himself.
2Ki 5:20-27
Naaman, a Syrian, a courtier, a soldier, had many servants, and we read how wise and good they were, v. 13. Elisha, a holy prophet, a man of God, has but one servant, and he proves a base, lying, naughty fellow. Those that heard of Elisha at a distance honoured him, and got good by what they heard; but he that stood continually before him, to hear his wisdom, had no good impressions made upon him either by his doctrine or miracles. One would have expected that Elisha's servant should be a saint (even Ahab's servant, Obadiah, was), but even Christ himself had a Judas among his followers. The means of grace cannot give grace. The best men, the best ministers have often had those about them that have been their grief and shame. The nearer the church the further from God. Many come from the east and west to sit down with Abraham when the children of the kingdom shall be cast out. Here is,
