Naaman’s Leprosy Healed

1 Now aNaaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was ba great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the Lord had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.  
2 And the Syrians had gone out aon raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She2 waited on Naaman’s wife.  
3 Then she said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.”
4 And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel.”
5 Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed and atook with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.  
6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said,
Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.
7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “Am I aGod, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.”

2 Kings 5:2-5

a little maid—who had been captured in one of the many predatory incursions which were then made by the Syrians on the northern border of Israel (see I Samuel 30:8; II Kings 13:21; II Kings 24:2). By this young Hebrew slave of his wife, Naaman's attention was directed to the prophet of Israel, as the person who would remove his leprosy. Naaman, on communicating the matter to his royal master, was immediately furnished with a letter to the king of Israel, and set out for Samaria, carrying with him, as an indispensable preliminary in the East, very costly presents.
