The Israelite Servant Girl
The Girl Who Directed Naaman to the Prophet
A young Israelite girl was taken captive as a war prisoner and served the wife of the Aramean commander Naaman. She told them that there was a prophet in Samaria who could heal Naaman's leprosy—a testimony that led to his healing.

Directing Naaman to the Prophet
The little servant girl told Naaman's wife about the prophet in Samaria who could heal her husband's leprosy.
2Now raiding parties had gone out from Aram, and they had carried off a young girl from the land of Israel, and she waited on Naaman's wife.

3She said to her mistress, "If only my master would go to the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy."
