📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Naaman, a Syrian captain afflicted with leprosy, was instructed by Elisha to wash seven times in the Jordan River, and though initially offended, he obeyed and was healed. When Elisha refused payment, his servant Gehazi deceitfully accepted gifts from Naaman and was struck with Naaman's leprosy as punishment.

🔍 Text
(1) Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
