2 Kings 5:1-7
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.”
