She
is a minor character, not even named; a little girl stolen from home and made a
slave in the house of her enemy. But she has pity on her mighty master
afflicted with a skin disease that diminishes all his accomplishments. At her bidding
he goes to her little land with big gifts expecting to be greeted royally but the
little girl’s prophet sends his servant to give instructions to the mighty man.
Insulted, he would leave as he came but his servants convince him to do what he
was told; wash and be clean in a dirty, little river. Humbled by his disease,
desperate to be clean, he obeys and is made whole. The little girl sends the mighty
man to a little country with a mighty prophet so the mighty man might regain
the skin of a little boy. It is as Jesus said. “I tell you the truth, anyone
who will not receive the kingdom
of God
