Forgot the name a Non-Jewish king came to Elisha to get cured, Elisha told him to dunk 7 times in the Yarden and he will be cured. It worked.

Hint 1- non Jewish snack company
Hint 2- three letters long

I think you'll have to open a chumash and read through the parsha...
If people are really stuck I can give a third hint, which will make it easy to find, maybe later in the week. 😀

1. One of those wives...tzila?
Did she end up having kids? She was just a wife for beauty.

2. Leah? Dudaim?
