Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is G3497, Ναιμάν (Naiman), which is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Naaman. This entry appears in the New Testament in Luke 4:27, where Jesus refers to Naaman's healing as an example of God's grace extending beyond Israel.

Usage: Naaman is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name.

Context: Naaman is a prominent figure in the Hebrew Bible, particularly noted in the narrative found in 2 Kings 5. He was a commander of the army of the king of Aram (Syria) and is described as a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. However, Naaman suffered from leprosy.

The account of Naaman is significant for its demonstration of God's power and the theme of faith. A young Israelite girl, taken captive and serving Naaman's wife, suggested that Naaman seek healing from the prophet Elisha in Israel. Naaman's journey to Israel and his subsequent healing after following Elisha's instruction to wash in the Jordan River seven times is a testament to humility and obedience. Initially reluctant and angered by the simplicity of the prophet's command, Naaman's eventual compliance led to his miraculous healing, and he acknowledged the God of Israel as the only true God.

Naaman's story is also notable for the interaction between cultures and the demonstration of God's concern for people beyond Israel. His healing is a precursor to the New Testament theme of the inclusion of Gentiles in God's plan of salvation.
