2 Kings 5:8-14
8And it was so, when ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430 had heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had rentH7167 his clothesH899, that he sentH7971 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, Wherefore hast thou rentH7167 thy clothesH899? let him comeH935 now to me, and he shall knowH3045 that there isH3426 a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478. 9So NaamanH5283 cameH935 with his horsesH5483 and with his chariotH7393, and stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004 of ElishaH477. 10And ElishaH477 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 unto him, sayingH559, GoH1980 and washH7364 in JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and thy fleshH1320 shall come againH7725 to thee, and thou shalt be cleanH2891. 11But NaamanH5283 was wrothH7107, and went awayH3212, and saidH559, Behold, I thoughtH559, He will surelyH3318 come outH3318 to me, and standH5975, and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 his GodH430, and strikeH5130 his handH3027 over the placeH4725, and recoverH622 the leperH6879.123 12Are not AbanaH549H71 and PharparH6554, riversH5104 of DamascusH1834, betterH2896 than all the watersH4325 of IsraelH3478? may I not washH7364 in them, and be cleanH2891? So he turnedH6437 and went awayH3212 in a rageH2534.4 13And his servantsH5650 came nearH5066, and spakeH1696 unto him, and saidH559, My fatherH1, if the prophetH5030 had bidH1696 thee do some greatH1419 thingH1697, wouldest thou not have doneH6213 it? how much rather thenH637, when he saithH559 to thee, WashH7364, and be cleanH2891? 14Then went he downH3381, and dippedH2881 himself sevenH7651 timesH6471 in JordanH3383, according to the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430: and his fleshH1320 came againH7725 like unto the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 childH5288, and he was cleanH2891.
