Naaman was the Captain of the Syrian army, very respectable and with influence from the King of Syria, but he was a leper. There was a group of people from Israel that was in captivity in Syria, among that group of people there was a young girl working at Namaan's house as a domestic servant said, she told Naaman's why about the prophet from Israel that could heal Naaman. There was a little misunderstanding with the King of Syria and the king of Israel about the healing of Naaman, but when the prophet Elisha heard the message he told Naaman to go to the river Jordan then dip in the water seven times. At first Naaman refused saying that there are better rivers in Syria, but then listened to the prophet request and his health was completely restored.
