Naaman was a brave and powerful commander-in-chief of the Syrian army, and was well known for his heroic deeds. However, he had a serious skin disease which he couldn’t cure despite doing everything. One day a little servant girl who was a slave at his home, told Naaman’s wife to ask him to visit Elisha. He soon took leave from the King and took some valuable possessions along with himself to meet the great prophet. As soon as he reached there, he was received by the servant of Elisha who asked him to take a dip seven times in the holy water of River Jordon. He wasn’t happy to meet the servant, but did that. And to his surprise his skin disease went off, and his skin was now clear and spotless. Naaman offered Elisha precious gifts but he denied it. Soon he returned home happier than before. He prayed to God and asked Him to show the people that God existed.
