Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God,.... He listened to the reasoning of his servant, and his passion subsided, and did as the prophet ordered him:

and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child; clear and fresh, soft and tender as an infant, quite new flesh:

and he was clean; from the leprosy, and all the filthy symptoms of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Seven times - Compare 1 Kings 18:43. In both cases a somewhat severe trial was made of the individual’s faith. Compare the seven compassings of Jericho, and the sudden fall of the walls Joshua 6:3-20.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 5:14. Then went he down — He felt the force of this reasoning, and made a trial, probably expecting little success.

Like unto the flesh of a little child — The loathsome scurf was now entirely removed; his flesh assumed the appearance and health of youth; and the whole mass of his blood, and other juices, became purified, refined, and exalted! How mighty is God! What great things can he do by the simplest and feeblest of means!
