2 Kings 5:8-14

8And it wasH1961 so, when ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430 heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had rent his clothesH899, that he sentH7971 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothesH899? let him comeH935 now to me, and he shall knowH3045 that there is a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478. 9So NaamanH5283 cameH935 with his horsesH5483 and with his chariotsH7393, and stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004 of ElishaH477. 10And ElishaH477 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 unto him, sayingH559, GoH1980 and washH7364 in the JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and thy fleshH1320 shall comeH1980 again to thee, and thou shalt be cleanH2891. 11But NaamanH5283 was wroth, and wentH3318 away, and saidH559, Behold, I thought, He will surely comeH3318 out to me, and standH5975, and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of Jehovah his GodH430, and waveH5130 his handH3027 over the placeH4725, and recover the leper. 12Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the riversH5104 of DamascusH1834, betterH2896 than all the watersH4325 of IsraelH3478? may I not washH7364 in them, and be cleanH2891? So he turnedH6437 and went awayH6437 in a rageH2534. 13And his servantsH5650 came near, and spake unto him, and saidH559, My fatherH1, if the prophetH5030 had bid thee do some greatH1419 thingH1697, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, WashH7364, and be cleanH2891? 14Then wentH3381 he downH3381, and dippedH2881 himself sevenH7651 timesH6471 in the JordanH3383, according to the saying of the manH376 of GodH430; and his fleshH1320 cameH3381 again like unto the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 child, and he was cleanH2891.
