NaaahhhMan & Greedy Gehazi 2 Kings 5 Chew the Bible Season 3Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army, was a powerful and respected man, but he suffered from leprosy. A young Israelite servant girl told Naaman’s wife that the prophet Elisha in Israel could heal him. Naaman went to Israel with a letter from his king and gifts, but the king of Israel panicked, thinking it was a trick. Elisha then invited Naaman to come to him.When Naaman arrived, Elisha did not meet him in person but sent a messenger telling him to wash seven times in the Jordan River. Naaman was offended at first, expecting a dramatic miracle, but his servants persuaded him to obey. After dipping seven times, he was completely healed, and his skin became like that of a child. Grateful, Naaman returned to Elisha, confessed that the God of Israel was the only true God, and offered gifts, which Elisha refused.However, Elisha’s servant Gehazi, driven by greed, secretly went after Naaman and lied to obtain some of the silver and clothing. When Gehazi returned, Elisha confronted him, knowing what he had done, and declared that Naaman’s leprosy would cling to Gehazi and his descendants forever. Gehazi immediately left Elisha’s presence covered in leprosy.👉 Key Themes:God’s healing power extends beyond Israel.Obedience, even in small things, brings blessing.God cannot be bought or manipulated.Greed and deceit bring judgment.
