2 Kings 5:1

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.

NAAMAN'S LEPROSY. (II Kings 5:1-7)

Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master—highly esteemed for his military character and success.

and honourable—rather, "very rich."

but he was a leper—This leprosy, which, in Israel, would have excluded him from society, did not affect his free intercourse in the court of Syria.
