The Maid of Naaman's Wife
Second Kings 5 contains a strange account of the Syrian general Naaman's being healed of leprosy by the prophet Elisha. It contains truths about God's sovereignty, His servants, His acts that cause humiliation, and the grateful reaction of those who receive His salvation. But none of this would have happened apart from the simple faith and witness of an unnamed female Israelite slave in Syria. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas shows how the maid of Naaman's wife plays a central role in the healing of Naaman, and he highlights several truths that are revealed about God from this story.
