The Little Maid Speaks to Naaman’s Wife

The captive Israelite maid stands at the doorway with a basket of flowers, speaking with quiet courage to Naaman’s wife inside her Syrian household. The seated mistress listens with concern, surrounded by domestic furnishings that place the moment within a private home rather than a royal court. The scene portrays the tender beginning of Naaman’s healing story in 2 Kings 5, when a young girl taken from Israel bears faithful witness to the prophet in Samaria. Her words point beyond captivity and suffering toward the mercy of God, showing how even a servant child becomes a messenger of hope. This artwork is well suited for teaching on witness, compassion, providence, missions, and the healing of Naaman from leprosy.
