Usage: The name Νεεμάν appears in the New Testament in reference to the Old Testament figure Naaman, a commander of the army of the king of Aram, who was healed of leprosy by the prophet Elisha.

Context: Νεεμάν (Naaman) is a significant figure in the biblical narrative, primarily known from the Old Testament account in 2 Kings 5. Naaman was a highly esteemed commander in the army of the king of Aram (modern-day Syria), but he suffered from leprosy, a condition that was both physically debilitating and socially isolating.

The story of Naaman is notable for its demonstration of God's power and the theme of humility and obedience. A young Israelite girl, taken captive and serving Naaman's wife, suggested that Naaman seek healing from the prophet Elisha in Israel. Despite initial reluctance and pride, Naaman eventually followed Elisha's instructions to wash seven times in the Jordan River, resulting in his miraculous healing.

This account is referenced in the New Testament, where Jesus mentions Naaman in Luke 4:27, highlighting the grace of God extended beyond Israel to a foreigner. This serves as a testament to God's sovereignty and the inclusivity of His mercy.

Naaman's story is often cited as an example of faith and the importance of following divine instructions, even when they seem simple or beneath one's status. His healing prefigures the broader reach of God's salvation, which is available to all who believe and obey.
