Naaman

A Dictionary of the Bible | 1997 | | Â© A Dictionary of the Bible 1997, originally published by Oxford University Press 1997. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Naaman An army officer under Benhadad of Syria who had contracted leprosy and heard from an Israelite slave-girl about the miraculous powers of the prophet Elisha. Naaman was sent by his king to Samaria with a letter to the king of Israel (apparently then a vassal of Syria). Elisha ordered Naaman to wash in the River Jordan, and he was cured. Naaman then vowed to worship Yahweh and, in the belief that a god could only be worshipped on his own soil, carried back two mule-loads of Israelite soil (2 Kgs. 5) to Syria.

Naaman in the Bible, the Syrian soldier who is healed of leprosy by the prophet Elisha, who tells him to wash in the river of Jordan. Naaman does so, despite his initial protest (2 Kings 5:12); being healed, he declares that henceforth he will worship the god of Israel, although he will still have to accompany his master the king to the temple of Rimmon.
