About Naaman (1 Chronicles 8:7)
The grandson of Benjamin and son of Bela, who gave his name to the Naamite clan (Genesis 46:21; Numbers 26:38–40; 1 Chronicles 8:4, 7).
The commanding general of the Aramean army during the reign of Ben-hadad, king of Syria (2 Kings 5). The king respected him for his character and military successes even though he had leprosy. This did not exclude him from society, as it would have done in Israel (compare Leviticus 13–14). Ben-hadad's allowed him to bring gifts to the court of his very suspicious neighboring king. This king was probably Jehoram.
