Naaman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naaman is also the name of one of the Minor characters in the Book of Genesis

Naaman (נַעֲמָן "pleasantness") the Syrian is mentioned in the Second Books of Kings chapter 5 in the Tanakh. According to the narrative, he is the commander of the armies of Benhadad II. In the time of Joram, king of Israel. He was afflicted with tzaraath (which is often translated as 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 tore his clothes. Elisha the prophet hearing of this, sent for Naaman, and the strange interview which took place is found in 2 Kings 5. He was cured of his leprosy by dipping himself seven times in the Jordan River, according to the word of Elisha. He is also mentioned in the New Testament Gospel of Luke 4:27.

The feminine version of the name Naaman is Naamah; there are several Biblical figures with this name.
