Seven Times in the Jordan

Name Date

Read the Story

Naaman was a great captain of the army of Syria. But he had leprosy. A young girl had been taken from Israel. She served Naaman's wife. She said she wished Naaman could meet the prophet in Samaria. He would heal him.

Naaman went to Elisha with horses, chariots, and gifts. Elisha did not come out. He sent a messenger. He said to wash seven times in the Jordan. Naaman was angry. He thought Elisha would wave his hand and heal him. His servants said he would have done a hard thing. Why not this easy thing? So Naaman went down and washed.

His skin became like the skin of a little child. Naaman said now he knew there is no God in all the earth but in Israel. Elisha would not take any gift. But Gehazi, his servant, ran after Naaman. He lied and took silver and clothes. Elisha knew. Naaman's leprosy came on Gehazi.

Memory Verse

“Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.”
