Naaman washed and healed in the Jordan
Naaman, commander of Aram's army, came to Elisha seeking healing from leprosy. Angry at the simple command to wash seven times in the Jordan, he finally obeyed and his flesh was restored like that of a little child (2 Kings 5:1-14).

📖 2 Kings 5:1–3
1Now 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. 2At 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. 3She said to her mistress, “If only my master would go to the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of his leprosy.”
