1 Now Naaman was the commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man before his master and highly regarded, for by him Yahweh had given victory to Aram. Now the man was a mighty warrior, but he was afflicted with a skin disease.
2 When the Arameans went on a raid, they brought back a young girl from the land of Israel, and she came into the service of the wife of Naaman.
3 She said to her mistress, “If only my lord would come before the prophet who is in Samaria; then he would cure his skin disease.”
4 He came and told his master, saying, “Thus and so the girl who is from the land of Israel said.”
5 So the king of Aram said, “Go, I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He went and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
