Naaman
   pleasantness, a Syrian, the commander of the armies of Benhadad
   II. in the time of Joram, king of Israel. He was afflicted with
   leprosy; and when the little Hebrew slave-girl that waited on
   his wife told her of a prophet in Samaria who could cure her
   master, he obtained a letter from Benhadad and proceeded with it
   to Joram. The king of Israel suspected in this some evil design
   against him, and rent his clothes. Elisha the prophet hearing of
   this, sent for Naaman, and the strange interview which took
   place is recorded in 2 Kings 5. The narrative contains all that
   is known of the Syrian commander. He was cured of his leprosy by
   dipping himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word
   of Elisha. His cure is alluded to by our Lord (Luke 4:27).
