2 Kings 5:8-15

8And it wasH1961 so, when ElishaH477 the manH376 of 1GodH430 had heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had rent his garmentsH899, that he sentH7971 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, WhyH4100 hast thou rent thy garmentsH899? let him comeH935 now to me, and he shall knowH3045 that there is a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478.

9And NaamanH5283 cameH935 with his horsesH5483 and with his chariotH7393, and stoodH5975 at the doorwayH6607 of the houseH1004 of ElishaH477.

10And ElishaH477 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 to him, sayingH559, GoH1980 and washH7364 in the JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and thy fleshH1320 shall comeH1980 again to thee, and thou shalt be cleanH2891.

11And NaamanH5283 was wroth, and wentH3318 away and saidH559, Behold, I thought, He will certainly comeH3318 out to me, and standH5975, and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of Jehovah his 2GodH430, and waveH5130 his handH3027 over the placeH4725, and cure the leper.

12Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, riversH5104 of DamascusH1834, betterH2896 than all the watersH4325 of IsraelH3478? may I not washH7364 in them and be cleanH2891? And he turnedH6437 and went awayH6437 in a rageH2534.

13And his servantsH5650 drewH5066 near, and spokeH1696 to him and saidH559, My fatherH1, [if] the prophetH5030 had bidden thee [do some] greatH1419 thingH1697, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saysH559 to thee, WashH7364 and be cleanH2891?

14Then he wentH3381 downH3381, and plunged himself sevenH7651 timesH6471 in the JordanH3383, according to the saying of the manH376 of 3GodH430. And his fleshH1320 became again like the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 child, and he was cleanH2891.

15And he returnedH7725 to the manH376 of 4GodH430, he and all his company, and cameH935 and stoodH5975 before him; and he saidH559, Behold, I knowH3045 that there is no 5GodH430 in all the earthH776 but in IsraelH3478; and nowH6258, I pray thee, takeH3947 a present of thy servantH5650.
