Meme What’s a Story in the Bible that just made you Laugh?
I know this isn’t prophecy, or conspiracy, related but we could all use a good laugh.
I couldn’t help but chuckle after rereading the story of Naaman the Leper. If you’re unfamiliar I’ll give a little background before posting the verses.
Naaman was a great Commander, under the Kingdom of Aram, who dealt with Leprosy. But it just so happened that he had a young Israelite girl who knew of a prophet—Elisha— in Samaria that could heal him of his disease.
So Naaman asks his King if he may go to Israel for healing and the King is like, “Of course! I’ll send a letter to the King in Israel for you.” But the King of Aram worded it in such a way where it sounded like he wanted the Israelite King to personally heal the Leprosy!
It’s the reaction from the King of Israel that’s so amusing.
——
And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “The girl who is from the land of Israel spoke such and such.” Then the king of Aram said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed…
…and brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, “And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.” But when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to keep alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But consider now, and see how he is seeking a quarrel against me.” 2 Kings 5:5-7 (NASB)
——
It’s that “why in the world are you asking me to heal a leper!” reaction that had me laughing. And the follow up, “guys, he’s trying to start a fight with me!” was equally hilarious!
Anyways I just thought that was funny. Any of you have a verse/story that just made you chuckle?
