2 Kings 5:3
And she said unto her mistress "Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy."
ACTIONS:
Naaman the Leper was sent to Elisha the prophet in Samaria by word of a little maid of Israel. The nameless little maid played a pivotal role in this story by declaring the power of her God thus the Naaman's search for healing began.

The
little maid was carried captive by a Syrian company whom Naaman was captain
over to await his wife. She daringly spoke to her mistress about her husband’s
skin condition asserting he could be recovered if he would make his condition
known to her lord
What FAITH, what BRAVERY for a young Israelite girl. It’s
obvious she understood the Syrian’s gods were nothing and the one true God
resided in Israel. She spoke these sayings with full confidence in the power
she knew was bestowed upon Elisha the prophet.
The
book of the law doesn’t indication her age, name, or tribe, but more importantly
if only an instance it reminds us of her faith in the power of our YWHW even in
her captivity.
