0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today was so good. |
0:15.0 | Elisha the Prophet is still working miracles to display God's character and there's so much of it to see. |
0:21.0 | Our first story is of a Syrian military commander named |
0:24.6 | Naman. Before he ever comes into a relationship with God, God has his hand on his |
0:29.2 | life. God grants him military victories, which wouldn't sound odd if he were an Israelite, but he's not. |
0:34.8 | He's actually one of Israel's enemies. Just a few days ago, Israel and Judah were at war with Syria. |

1:17.0 | But Elisha finds out about it, knows it's legit, and sends for Naman. |
1:21.0 | Elisha gives Naman some unconventional advice for healing. |
1:25.0 | Naman is used to healing rituals performed by pagans, |
1:28.0 | so when Elisha tells him to take seven baths, |
1:30.0 | and in a filthy river no less, he's furious. |
1:34.0 | He's come all this way to get a lesson on hygiene, |
