Naaman the Syrian

Commander of Syrias army, mighty and honorable, but a leper; little Israelite captive girl says the prophet could heal him; arrives with horses and chariots; offended at being told to dip seven times in the Jordan, expected ceremony; servants reason with him; dips, becomes as a child; refuses to take the diseases price elsewhere. Failure mode: Earlier pride that almost refused the simple cure. Restoration path: Listen to the captive girl; obey the simple word instead of waiting for the grand one; dip seven times. Markers: powerful but afflicted; cure announced through the lowliest; expected ceremony, given simplicity; offended at first by the simplicity; obeys and becomes as a child
