This article analyses the dichotomy of greatness versus smallness in 2 Kgs 5. It argues that Naaman’s real disease was an unhealthy attitude towards greatness, and Elisha primarily cured it. From the discourse of the story, Aram’s and Naaman’s looting and oppression of the weaker nation and individuals is borne from this disease. The investigation of this article is also postcolonial, drawing parallels between attitudes and power imbalances in the narrative and those of colonial relationships. The above-named concepts are merged with the method of literary narrative criticism to trace the text’s reproof of imperialist ideology.
