1. Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the Lord had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valour, but he was a leper.
2. The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of Eretz-Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
3. She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.”
4. Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, “The maiden who is from Eretz-Israel said this.”
