<P> Naaman (נַעֲמָן "pleasantness") the Aramean was a commander of the armies of Ben - Hadad II, the king of Aram - Damascus, in the time of Joram, king of Israel . </P> <P> According to the Bible, Naaman was a commander of the army of Syria . He was a good commander and was held in favor because of victory that God brought him . Yet Naaman was a leper . Naaman's wife had a servant girl from Israel who said that a prophet there would be able to heal him . Naaman tells his lord this and he is sent to Israel with a letter to the king . The king of Israel didn't know what to do, yet Elisha (Eliseus) came to the king asking to see Naaman . He told him to go bathe in the Jordan seven times and he would be clean . Naaman was angry and would have left, but his servant asked him to try it and he was healed . A servant of Elisha, seeing Naaman being turned away from offering God offerings ran after him and falsely asked for clothing and silver for visitors . And the leprosy from Naaman fell on Gehazi and would remain in his descendants . God took this man from Syria and showed his power to him in order for him to return to his lord and share the power of the God of Israel . </P> <P> Naaman is mentioned in 2 Kings 5 of the Tanakh in Hebrew as "וְ֠נַעֲמָן שַׂר ־ צְבָ֨א מֶֽלֶךְ ־ אֲרָ֜ם" or "Naaman captain of the army of the King of Aram". </P> <P> Now Naaman, the general of the king of Aram, was a prominent man before his lord and respected, for through him had the Lord given victory to Aram; and the man was a great warrior, and he was a mezora . Now the Arameans went out in bands and captured from the land of Israel a young girl, who ministered to Naaman's wife . </P>
