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 that he, the Wy e 8yrta)-faw 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? Distributed by Xing natures Syndicate, Inc. 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.
