Naaman in the Bible

Naaman in the Bible was commander-in-chief of the army of Syria, and was nearest to the person of the king, Ben-hadad II, whom he accompanied officially and supported when he went to worship in the temple of Rimmon at Damascus. A Jewish tradition identifies Naaman with the archer whose arrow, whether random or not, struck Ahab with his mortal wound and thus "gave deliverance to Syria." This had given Naaman a great position at the court of Ben-hadad.

Naaman was afflicted with a kind of leprosy that had no cure. A little servant girl from Israel tells his wife of the fame and skill of the Prophet Elisha, and Naaman is cured after following Elisha's simple directions to bath in the Jordan seven times. Naaman's first business after his cure is to thank his benefactor and gratefully acknowledge the power of the the god of Israel.
