Naaman the Aramean (Hebrew: נַעֲמָן, romanized: Naʿmān, lit. 'pleasantness') was a commander of the armies of Hadadezer, the king of Aram-Damascus, in the time of Jehoram, King of Northern Israel (Samaria). According to 2 Kings 5 in the Bible, …

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. Contemporary English Version Naaman walked down to the Jordan; he waded out into the water and stooped down in it seven times, just as Elisha had told him.

2024年10月4日 · You may have heard a Bible tory about Naaman. This man, who had leprosy, washed himself in the Jordan river seven times, according to what Elisha the prophet instructed him to do. But many do not know the historical context of people such as Naaman.

In this post we will be exploring six things we can learn from Naaman. The story of Naaman is found in 2 Kings 5. Naaman was a powerful warrior in the Syrian army who had leprosy. The biblical meaning of Naaman means “pleasant”. He lived up to his name. He found out from a little slave girl that the Israelite prophet Elisha could heal him.

In the context of Naaman's healing, the Jordan River is the site of his miraculous cleansing from leprosy. Despite Naaman's initial reluctance, the river becomes a place of divine encounter and transformation. The act of washing in the Jordan symbolizes obedience to God's word and the power of faith to bring about healing and restoration.

The nearest point on the course of Jordan was above twenty miles distant from Samaria. Naaman is to go thither, to strip himself, and to plunge into the stream seven times. The directions seem given to test his faith.

2024年3月12日 · Naaman, a commander in the army of Aram, was struck by leprosy. But through a chain of events, he found himself seeking help from the prophet Elisha in Israel. What follows is an inspiring and thought-provoking journey of healing and transformation.

Naaman, a great personage, had come to make a request of a king and pay handsomely for services rendered. First he was sent to the lowly dwelling of a prophet, who did not even come out to meet him, and then he was sent off in this way, without any display or notice, to wash in the muddy Jordan River!

2009年7月19日 · Naaman was a soldier, we learn, the commander of the army of the king of Syria. This meant that he was not only a gentile and a pagan, but also a deadly enemy to the people of God, to Israel. He was also a man who stood in high favor with his master, the King of Syria. In other words, Naaman had it made, as we say, except for just one thing.
