2 Kings 5:1

Now Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man in his master’s sight and highly regarded, for through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. And he was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.

² At this time the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken a young girl from the land of Israel, and she was serving Naaman’s wife.

³ She said to her mistress, “If only my master would go to the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of his leprosy.”
