From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Naaman
      pleasantness, a Syrian, the commander of the armies of Benhadad
      II. in the time of Joram, king of Israel. He was afflicted with
      leprosy; and when the little Hebrew slave-girl that waited on
      his wife told her of a prophet in Samaria who could cure her
      master, he obtained a letter from Benhadad and proceeded with it
      to Joram. The king of Israel suspected in this some evil design
      against him, and rent his clothes. Elisha the prophet hearing of
      this, sent for Naaman, and the strange interview which took
      place is recorded in 2 Kings 5. The narrative contains all that
      is known of the Syrian commander. He was cured of his leprosy by
      dipping himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word
      of Elisha. His cure is alluded to by our Lord (Luke 4:27).
