2 Kings 5:1-7

1And NaamanH5283, captain of the hostH6635 of the kingH4428 of Syria, wasH1961 a greatH1419 manH376 before his masterH113, and honourable, for by him Jehovah had givenH5414 deliveranceH8668 to Syria; and he wasH1961 a mightyH1368 manH376 of valour, [but] a leper.

2And the Syrians had goneH3318 out in bandsH1416, and had broughtH3318 away captiveH7617 out of the landH776 of IsraelH3478 a littleH6996 maid; and she waited on Naaman's wifeH802.

3And she saidH559 to her mistressH1404, Oh, would that my lordH113 were before the prophetH5030 that is in SamariaH8111! thenH227 he would cure him of his leprosy.

4And he wentH935 and toldH5046 his lordH113 sayingH559, Thus and thus saidH559 the maid that is of the landH776 of IsraelH3478.

5And the kingH4428 of Syria saidH559, Well! goH935, and I will sendH7971 a letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. And he departed, and tookH3947 with him tenH6235 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and sixH8337 thousandH505 [shekels] of goldH2091, and tenH6235 changes of raiment.

6And he broughtH935 the letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, And nowH6258, when this letterH5612 comesH935 to thee, behold, I have sentH7971 NaamanH5283 my servantH5650 to thee, that thou mayest cure him of his leprosy.

7And it came to pass when the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had readH7121 the letterH5612, that he rent his garmentsH899, and saidH559, Am I 1GodH430, to killH4191 and to makeH3045 aliveH2421, that this manH376 sendsH7971 to me to cure a manH376 of his leprosy? Wherefore considerH7200, I pray you, and seeH7200 how he seeks an occasion against me.
