II Kings 5:1-6, 9-15a

The narrative before us took place more than 100 years following David’s reign over Israel. It was a time in which the Syrians had achieved numerous military victories and were imposing their will upon the northern kingdom of Israel.

In verse 1, we are introduced to Naaman. He was the commander of the Syrian military. He was the top dog. He was the reason that Syria had become a military power.
