2 Kings 5:9-12

9So Naaman came with his horses and his chariots and stood at the doorway of the house of Elisha.

10Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “1Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored to you and you will be clean.”

11But Naaman was furious and went away and said, “Behold, I 2thought, ‘He will surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.’

12Are not 3Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and 4went away in a rage.
