2 Kings 5:1-14

1Now 1NaamanH5283, commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of the kingH4428 of AramH758, was a greatH1419 manH376 2in the view of his masterH113, and eminentH5375H6440, becauseH3588 by him the LordH3068 had givenH5414 victoryH8668 to AramH758. The manH376 was also a valiantH2428 warriorH1368, but afflictedH6879 withH6879 leprosyH6879. 2Now the ArameansH758 had goneH3318 outH3318 3in bandsH1416 and had takenH7617 captiveH7617 a littleH6996 girlH5291 from the landH776 of IsraelH3478; and she 4waitedH1961 on Naaman’sH5283 wifeH802. 3And she saidH559 to her mistressH1404, “IfH305 onlyH305 my masterH113 were 5with the prophetH5030 whoH834 is in SamariaH8111! ThenH227 he would cureH622 him of his leprosyH6883.” 4And 6Naaman wentH935 inH935 and toldH5046 his masterH113, sayingH559, “The girlH5291 whoH834 is from the landH776 of IsraelH3478 spokeH1696 suchH2088 and suchH2088.” 5Then the kingH4428 of AramH758 saidH559, “GoH1980 7nowH935, and I will sendH7971 a letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.” So he departedH1980 and 8tookH3947 with him tenH6235 9talentsH3603 of silverH3701, sixH8337 thousandH505 10shekels of goldH2091, and tenH6235 11changesH2487 of clothesH899.

6And he broughtH935 the letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, 12which saidH559, “And nowH6258 as thisH2088 letterH5612 comesH935 to you, beholdH2009, I have sentH7971 NaamanH5283 my servantH5650 to you, so that you may cureH622 him of his leprosyH6883.” 7But when the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 readH7121 the letterH5612, 13he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and saidH559, “14Am I GodH430, to killH4191 and to keepH2421 aliveH2421, that thisH2088 man is sendingH7971 word to me to cureH622 a manH376 of his leprosyH6883? But 15considerH3045 nowH4994, and seeH7200 howH3588 he is seekingH579 16aH579 quarrelH579 against me.”

8Now it happenedH1961, when ElishaH477 17the manH376 of GodH430 heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had tornH7167 his clothesH899, that he sentH7971 word to the kingH4428, sayingH559, “WhyH4100 did you tearH7167 your clothesH899? JustH4994 have him comeH935 to me, and he shall learnH3045 that thereH3426 isH3426 a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478.” 9So NaamanH5283 cameH935 with his horsesH5483 and his chariotsH7393, and stoodH5975 at the doorwayH6607 of Elisha’sH477 houseH1004. 10And ElishaH477 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 to him, sayingH559, “18GoH1980 and washH7364 in the JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and your fleshH1320 will be restoredH7725 to you and you will beH2891 cleanH2891.” 11But NaamanH5283 wasH7107 furiousH7107 and wentH1980 away, and he saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I 19thoughtH559, ‘He will certainlyH3318 comeH3318 outH3318 to me, and standH5975 and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 his GodH430, and waveH5130 his handH3027 overH413 the siteH4725 and cureH622 the 20leprosyH6879.’ 12Are 21AbanahH71 and PharparH6554, the riversH5104 of DamascusH1834, not betterH2896 thanH4480 allH3605 the watersH4325 of IsraelH3478? Could I not washH7364 in them and beH2891 cleanH2891?” So he turnedH6437 and 22wentH1980 away in a rageH2534. 1323Then his servantsH5650 approachedH5066 and spokeH1696 to him, 24sayingH559, “25My fatherH1, had the prophetH5030 toldH1696 you to do some greatH1419 thingH1697, would you not have doneH6213 it? HowH637 muchH637H3588 moreH637H3588 then, whenH3588 he saysH559 to you, ‘WashH7364, and beH2891 cleanH2891’?” 14So he wentH3381 downH3381 and dippedH2881 himself in the JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, in accordance with the wordH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430; and 26his fleshH1320 was restoredH7725 like the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 childH5288, and 27he wasH2891 cleanH2891.
