Who had leprosy in the bible?
Answer Details
Naaman had leprosy in the Bible. Naaman was a commander in the Syrian army, but he had leprosy, which was a serious skin disease in ancient times. A young Israelite girl who was captured during a raid on Israel suggested to Naaman's wife that he should go to the prophet Elisha in Samaria for healing. Naaman followed her advice and went to Elisha's house, but instead of meeting with him, he received instructions through a messenger to dip himself seven times in the Jordan River. Initially, Naaman was skeptical and angry at Elisha's lack of personal attention, but his servants convinced him to try the treatment. Naaman followed the instructions and was miraculously healed of his leprosy. He then returned to Elisha's house to thank him and acknowledge the God of Israel. The story of Naaman's healing is found in 2 Kings 5:1-19.
