Lesson Overview
Scripture Text: 2 Kings 5
Estimated Date: 852 – 841 B.C.Synopsis: We are familiar with the work of Elisha among the kings of Israel and Judah, yet in 2 Kings 5 we read of a Syrian king who learns about the power of the true God. He serves as an example of faith even in our day for he received a promise from God after he did what was commanded. This event likely takes place during the reign of Jehoram (or Joram), king of Israel
