(2 Kings 5) But it was the river

“Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than any of the rivers of Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them and be healed?”  So Naaman turned and went away in a rage.

The Jordan River wasn’t the most picturesque around.  It wasn’t the biggest. But it was the river Elisha commanded Naaman to wash in. That’s all that really mattered.
