Naaman healed of leprosy
Naaman, commander of Aram's army, came to Elisha for healing; after grudgingly washing seven times in the Jordan, he was cleansed and confessed that Israel's God is the only God.
Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
2 Kings 5:14 (World English Bible)
A captured Israelite girl serving Naaman's wife told her about the prophet in Samaria. Naaman expected a dramatic ceremony and was offended by the simple instruction. His servants persuaded him to obey. Elisha refused payment, but his servant Gehazi secretly took some and was struck with Naaman's leprosy.
