He was the supreme commander of the army of Syria, a great man of high social standing. He was highl...

"And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored, and you shall be clean." 2 Kings 5:10 I really enjoyed reading this account of Naaman's way to God.
