1 # Now Naaman <05283>, captain <08269> of the host <06635> of the king <04428> of Syria <0758>, was a great <01419> man <0376> with <06440> his master <0113>, and honourable <05375> (8803), because by him the LORD <03068> had given <05414> (8804) deliverance <08668> unto Syria <0758>: he was also a mighty <01368> man <0376> in valour <02428> , but he was a leper <06879> (8794).
2 And the Syrians <0758> had gone out <03318> (8804) by companies <01416>, and had brought away captive <07617> (8799) out of the land <0776> of Israel <03478> a little <06996> maid <05291>; and she waited on <06440> Naaman's <05283> wife <0802>.
3 And she said <0559> (8799) unto her mistress <01404>, Would <0305> God my lord <0113> were with <06440> the prophet <05030> that is in Samaria <08111>! for <0227> he would recover <0622> (8799) him of his leprosy <06883>.
4 And one went in <0935> (8799), and told <05046> (8686) his lord <0113>, saying <0559> (8800), Thus and thus said <01696> (8765) the maid <05291> that is of the land <0776> of Israel <03478>.
5 And the king <04428> of Syria <0758> said <0559> (8799), Go to <03212> (8798), go <0935> (8798), and I will send <07971> (8799) a letter <05612> unto the king <04428> of Israel <03478>. And he departed <03212> (8799), and took <03947> (8799) with him <03027> ten <06235> talents <03603> of silver <03701>, and six <08337> thousand <0505> pieces of gold <02091>, and ten <06235> changes <02487> of raiment <0899>.
6 And he brought <0935> (8686) the letter <05612> to the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559> (8800), Now when this letter <05612> is come <0935> (8800) unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent <07971> (8804) Naaman <05283> my servant <05650> to thee, that thou mayest recover <0622> (8804) him of his leprosy <06883>.
7 And it came to pass, when the king <04428> of Israel <03478> had read <07121> (8800) the letter <05612>, that he rent <07167> (8799) his clothes <0899>, and said <0559> (8799), Am I God <0430>, to kill <04191> (8687) and to make alive <02421> (8687), that this man <02088> doth send <07971> (8802) unto me to recover <0622> (8800) a man <0376> of his leprosy <06883>? wherefore <0389> consider <03045> (8798), I pray you, and see <07200> (8798) how he seeketh a quarrel <0579> (8693) against me.
8 And it was so, when Elisha <0477> the man <0376> of God <0430> had heard <08085> (8800) that the king <04428> of Israel <03478> had rent <07167> (8804) his clothes <0899>, that he sent <07971> (8799) to the king <04428>, saying <0559> (8800), Wherefore hast thou rent <07167> (8804) thy clothes <0899>? let him come <0935> (8799) now to me, and he shall know <03045> (8799) that there is <03426> a prophet <05030> in Israel <03478>.
9 # So Naaman <05283> came <0935> (8799) with his horses <05483> and with his chariot <07393>, and stood <05975> (8799) at the door <06607> of the house <01004> of Elisha <0477>.
10 And Elisha <0477> sent <07971> (8799) a messenger <04397> unto him, saying <0559> (8800), Go <01980> (8800) and wash <07364> (8804) in Jordan <03383> seven <07651> times <06471>, and thy flesh <01320> shall come again <07725> (8799) to thee, and thou shalt be clean <02891> (8798).
11 But Naaman <05283> was wroth <07107> (8799), and went away <03212> (8799), and said <0559> (8799), Behold, I thought <0559> (8804), He will surely <03318> (8800) come out <03318> (8799) to me, and stand <05975> (8804), and call <07121> (8804) on the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> his God <0430>, and strike <05130> (8689) his hand <03027> over the place <04725>, and recover <0622> (8804) the leper <06879> (8794).
12 Are not Abana <071> (8676) <0549> and Pharpar <06554>, rivers <05104> of Damascus <01834> , better <02896> than all the waters <04325> of Israel <03478>? may I not wash <07364> (8799) in them, and be clean <02891> (8804)? So he turned <06437> (8799) and went away <03212> (8799) in a rage <02534>.
13 And his servants <05650> came near <05066> (8799), and spake <01696> (8762) unto him, and said <0559> (8799), My father <01>, if the prophet <05030> had bid <01696> (8765) thee do some great <01419> thing <01697>, wouldest thou not have done <06213> (8799) it? how much rather then <0637>, when he saith <0559> (8804) to thee, Wash <07364> (8798), and be clean <02891> (8798)?
14 Then went he down <03381> (8799), and dipped <02881> (8799) himself seven <07651> times <06471> in Jordan <03383>, according to the saying <01697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>: and his flesh <01320> came again <07725> (8799) like unto the flesh <01320> of a little <06996> child <05288>, and he was clean <02891> (8799).
15 # And he returned <07725> (8799) to the man <0376> of God <0430>, he and all his company <04264>, and came <0935> (8799), and stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> him: and he said <0559> (8799), Behold, now I know <03045> (8804) that there is no God <0430> in all the earth <0776>, but in Israel <03478>: now therefore, I pray thee, take <03947> (8798) a blessing <01293> of thy servant <05650>.
16 But he said <0559> (8799), As the LORD <03068> liveth <02416>, before <06440> whom I stand <05975> (8804), I will receive <03947> (8799) none. And he urged <06484> (8799) him to take <03947> (8800) it; but he refused <03985> (8762).
17 And Naaman <05283> said <0559> (8799), Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given <05414> (8714) to thy servant <05650> two <06776> mules <06505>' burden <04853> of earth <0127>? for thy servant <05650> will henceforth offer <06213> (8799) neither burnt offering <05930> nor sacrifice <02077> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, but unto the LORD <03068> .
18 In this thing <01697> the LORD <03068> pardon <05545> (8799) thy servant <05650>, that when my master <0113> goeth <0935> (8800) into the house <01004> of Rimmon <07417> to worship <07812> (8692) there, and he leaneth <08172> (8737) on my hand <03027>, and I bow <07812> (8694) myself in the house <01004> of Rimmon <07417>: when I bow down <07812> (8692) myself in the house <01004> of Rimmon <07417>, the LORD <03068> pardon <05545> (8799) thy servant <05650> in this thing <01697>.
19 And he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Go <03212> (8798) in peace <07965>. So he departed <03212> (8799) from him a little <03530> way <0776>.
20 # But Gehazi <01522>, the servant <05288> of Elisha <0477> the man <0376> of God <0430>, said <0559> (8799), Behold, my master <0113> hath spared <02820> (8804) Naaman <05283> this Syrian <0761>, in not receiving <03947> (8800) at his hands <03027> that which he brought <0935> (8689): but, as the LORD <03068> liveth <02416>, I will run <07323> (8804) after <0310> him, and take <03947> (8804) somewhat <03972> of him.
21 So Gehazi <01522> followed <07291> (8799) after <0310> Naaman <05283>. And when Naaman <05283> saw <07200> (8799) him running <07323> (8801) after <0310> him, he lighted down <05307> (8799) from the chariot <04818> to meet <07125> (8800) him, and said <0559> (8799), Is all well <07965>?
22 And he said <0559> (8799), All is well <07965>. My master <0113> hath sent <07971> (8804) me, saying <0559> (8800), Behold, even now there be come <0935> (8804) to me from mount <02022> Ephraim <0669> two <08147> young men <05288> of the sons <01121> of the prophets <05030>: give <05414> (8798) them, I pray thee, a talent <03603> of silver <03701>, and two <08147> changes <02487> of garments <0899>.
23 And Naaman <05283> said <0559> (8799), Be content <02974> (8685), take <03947> (8798) two talents <03603>. And he urged <06555> (8799) him, and bound <06696> (8799) two <08147> talents <03603> of silver <03701> in two <08147> bags <02754>, with two <08147> changes <02487> of garments <0899>, and laid <05414> (8799) them upon two <08147> of his servants <05288>; and they bare <05375> (8799) them before <06440> him.
24 And when he came <0935> (8799) to the tower <06076>, he took <03947> (8799) them from their hand <03027>, and bestowed <06485> (8799) them in the house <01004>: and he let the men <0582> go <07971> (8762), and they departed <03212> (8799).
25 But he went in <0935> (8802), and stood <05975> (8799) before his master <0113>. And Elisha <0477> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Whence <0370> comest thou, Gehazi <01522>? And he said <0559> (8799), Thy servant <05650> went <01980> (8804) no whither <0575>.
26 And he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Went <01980> (8804) not mine heart <03820> with thee, when the man <0376> turned <02015> (8804) again from his chariot <04818> to meet <07125> (8800) thee? Is it a time <06256> to receive <03947> (8800) money <03701>, and to receive <03947> (8800) garments <0899>, and oliveyards <02132> , and vineyards <03754>, and sheep <06629>, and oxen <01241>, and menservants <05650>, and maidservants <08198>?
27 The leprosy <06883> therefore of Naaman <05283> shall cleave <01692> (8799) unto thee, and unto thy seed <02233> for ever <05769>. And he went out <03318> (8799) from his presence <06440> a leper <06879> (8794) as white as snow <07950>.
