Naaman, captain of the host of the king
of Syria, was a great man, but he was
a leper. In his, household was a little
Israelite maid, a captive, who told her
mistress, Naaman's wife, that Ellsha,
the prophet, could heal, him of his
leprosy.
Someone told what the little girl had
said, and the king of Syria wrote to the
king of Israel and asked him to cure
Naaman of leprosy. The king was ver y
much upset, as he had no power to heal,
but Elisha said, "Let him come now to
me."
Naaman went with his horses and char
iot to Elisha, but the prophet sent a
messenger telling Naaman to "wash in
Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall
come again to thee, and thou shalt be
clean." Naaman was angry and went
away in a rage.

Syria; he was also a mighty man
in valour, but he was a leper."
In one of the raids made by
the Syrians, the soldiers had
brought a little Israelite maiden
as a captive, and she waited on
Naaman's wife. "And she said
unto her mistress. Would God my
lord were with the prophet that
Is in Samaria! for he would re
cover him of his leprosy."
Someone told the master what
the little girl had said, and the
king ot Syria wrote. .fcJetUr tq
the king of Israel telling film

sending his servant, Naaman, to
dim to be cured of leprosy. The
king of Israel read the letter and
'.ore his robe, saying, "Am I God,
:o kill and to make alive, that
his man doth send unto me to
ecover a man of leprosy? Where
"ore consider I pray you, and see
low he seeketh a quarrel against
me."
When Elisha heard that the
king had rent his clothes and
thought the king of Syria was
trying to pick a quarrel with
him, he said, "Let him come now
to me, and he shall know that
there is a prophet in Israel."
Naaman Goet to Ellsha
So Naaman came to Elisha
with his horses and his chariot
and gifts, and stood at Ellstia'a
door. Now Elisha did not come
clown to see Naaman himself, but
he sent a messenrT to him, tell
ing him to go tu Ine river Jordan,
wash hlmr"ir m the water seven
tinr-.. ;.nJ he would be clean.
:. daman fieur into a rage at
this message. Probably he felt
he had not been shown the proper
respect due to one of hit station
because Elishac had not come to
talk with him. "Behold, I
thought, he will surely com out
to me, and stand, and call on the
name of the Lord his God. and
strike his hand over the place,
and recover the leper," he said.
And as for the river Jordan,
why could he not wash in one
of the rivers of Syria and be
clean? They were much' less
, muddy than the Jordan. How
ever, his servants, who seem to
have been fond of him. said, "My
father. If the prophet hetf bid
thee v. do some great thine'.
wouldest thou not have done it?

How much rather then, when he
salth to thee, Wash, and be
clean."
That must have seemed like
commonsense to Naaman, so ne
went to the river Jordan, dipped
himself seven times In the water,
and "Hts llesh came again like
unto the flesh of a little child,
and he was clean."
Naaman went back to Elisha
and offered him gifts, but he
would take nothing, so Naaman
told him he would offer no more
sacrifices to strange gods, but
only to the Lord.
Kail of the Kingdom )
This story of the healing of the
captain by the power of God is
the first part of our lesson; the
rest deals with the fall of the
northern kingdom because of the
people's wickedness and disobedi
ence to God. As we noted in our
last lesson, Israel rose to its
height in power and prosperity ,
in the reign of Jeroboam II. This !
monarch was followed by his son, '
Zeehariah, who was murdered
.after a six months' reien. bv
Shallum, who reigned for only
one month and was killed by,
Menahem. At this time Tiglath-'
pileser, king of Syria, invaded
the kingdom of Israel and exact
ed an enormous tribute from the
king of the now weakened em-j
pire. The king took the money
from the wealthy men of his
kingdom who had piled up for
tunes when Jeroboam II was
king.
Menahem was succeeded by his
son, Pekahiah, who was assas
sinated by Pekah. Pekah opposed
the Assyrians, but he was slain
by Hoshea I and his followers.
He was a tool of Assyria.
Isaiah, the prophet, prophesied
the downfall of Israel, saying,
"Woe to the crown of pride, to
the drunkards of Ephralm, whose
glorious beauty is a fading
flower, which are on the head of
the fat valleys of them that are
overcome with wine! . . . The
crown of the pride, the drunkards
of Ephraim. shall be trodden
under feet. And the glorious
beauty, which Is on the head of
the fat valley, shall be a fading
flower, and as the hasty fruit be
fore the summer; which when he
that looketh upon it seeth, while
it is yet in his hand he eateth it
up."
Hoshea was a wicked king, al
though not as bad as some of the
others. It was during his reign
that Israel felL Hoshea was
taken captive and held a hostage
for the payment of tribute, and
the hordes of Assyrians poured
into Israel. Samaria was beseiged,
and although it held .tut for three
years. It was finally captured and
the Israelites were carried off
into slavery once more. This took
place in 722 B. C
