2 Kings 5:1-7
1Now 1NaamanH5283, captainH8269 of the armyH6635 of the kingH4428 of AramH758, was a greatH1419 manH376 2with his masterH113, and highly respectedH5375H6440, becauseH3588 by him the LordH3068 had givenH5414 victoryH8668 to AramH758. The manH376 was also a valiantH2428 warriorH1368, but he was a leperH6879. 2Now the ArameansH758 had goneH3318 out 3in bandsH1416 and had takenH7617 captiveH7628 a littleH6996 girlH5291 from the landH776 of IsraelH3478; and she 4waitedH1961 on Naaman’sH5283 wifeH802. 3She saidH559 to her mistressH1404, “I wishH305 that my masterH113 were 5with the prophetH5030 whoH834 is in SamariaH8111! ThenH227 he would cureH622 him of his leprosyH6883.” 46Naaman wentH935 in and toldH5046 his masterH113, sayingH559, “ThusH2088 and thusH2088 spokeH1696 the girlH5291 whoH834 is from the landH776 of IsraelH3478.” 5Then the kingH4428 of AramH758 saidH559, “GoH1980 7nowH935, and I will sendH7971 a letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.” He departedH1980 and 8tookH3947 with him tenH6235 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and sixH8337 thousandH505 shekels of goldH2091 and tenH6235 9changesH2487 of clothesH899.
6He broughtH935 the letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “And nowH6258 as thisH2088 letterH5612 comesH935 to you, beholdH2009, I have sentH7971 NaamanH5283 my servantH5650 to you, that you may cureH622 him of his leprosyH6883.” 7When the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 readH7121 the letterH5612, 10he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and saidH559, “11Am I GodH430, to killH4191 and to makeH2421 aliveH2421, that thisH2088 man is sendingH7971 word to me to cureH622 a manH376 of his leprosyH6883? But 12considerH3045 nowH4994, and seeH7200 howH3588 he is seekingH579 13a quarrelH579 against me.”
