There would be no window in the exterior wall from which Gehazi and his companions might have been observed approaching. Perhaps, however, a fortified hill, forming part of the system of defences surrounding Samaria, like the Ophel at Jerusalem, is to be understood. (Comp. 2Chronicles 27:3.) Elisha's house lay within the city wall (2Kings 6:30, seq.). Keil explains the hill on which Samaria was built. (Comp.

And he let the men - Naaman's servants - go, and they departed. They hastened, no doubt, to rejoin their master.Parallel Commentaries ...
