Explained for Children
Imagine you have a friend who is sick, and you can't make them feel better. So, you ask your dad to write a letter to another dad who might know how to help your friend. That's what this king is doing here. He's writing to another king because he thinks that king might know how to heal his servant, Naaman, who is very sick with leprosy.
Historical Background
