2 Kings 5:9-14

9So Naaman came with his horses and his chariots, and stood at the doorway of Elisha’s house. 10And Elisha 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 he said, “Behold, I 2thought, ‘He will certainly come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the site and cure the 3leprosy.’ 12Are 4Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, not better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and 5went away in a rage. 136Then his servants approached and spoke to him, 7saying, “8My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” 14So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, in accordance with the word of the man of God; and 9his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and 10he was clean.
