[1]Now NaamanH5283, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, was a greatH1419 manH376 withH6440 his masterH113, and honourableH5375[H8803], because by him the LORDH3068 had givenH5414[H8804] deliveranceH8668 unto SyriaH758: he was also a mightyH1368 manH376 in valourH2428, but he was a leperH6879.[H8794]
[2]And the SyriansH758 had gone outH3318[H8804] by companiesH1416, and had brought away captiveH7617[H8799] out of the landH776 of IsraelH3478 a littleH6996 maidH5291; and she waited onH6440 Naaman'sH5283 wifeH802.
[3]And she saidH559[H8799] unto her mistressH1404, WouldH305 God my lordH113 were withH6440 the prophetH5030 that is in SamariaH8111! forH227 he would recoverH622[H8799] him of his leprosyH6883.
[4]And one went inH935[H8799], and toldH5046[H8686] his lordH113, sayingH559[H8800], Thus and thus saidH1696[H8765] the maidH5291 that is of the landH776 of IsraelH3478.
[5]And the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 saidH559[H8799], Go toH3212[H8798], goH935[H8798], and I will sendH7971[H8799] a letterH5612 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. And he departedH3212[H8799], and tookH3947[H8799] with himH3027 tenH6235 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and sixH8337 thousandH505 pieces of goldH2091, and tenH6235 changesH2487 of raimentH899.
[6]And he broughtH935[H8686] the letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559[H8800], Now when this letterH5612 is comeH935[H8800] unto thee, behold, I have therewith sentH7971[H8804] NaamanH5283 my servantH5650 to thee, that thou mayest recoverH622[H8804] him of his leprosyH6883.
[7]And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had readH7121[H8800] the letterH5612, that he rentH7167[H8799] his clothesH899, and saidH559[H8799], Am I GodH430, to killH4191[H8687] and to make aliveH2421[H8687], that this manH2088 doth sendH7971[H8802] unto me to recoverH622[H8800] a manH376 of his leprosyH6883? whereforeH389 considerH3045[H8798], I pray you, and seeH7200[H8798] how he seeketh a quarrelH579 against meH8693.
[8]And it was so, when ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430 had heardH8085[H8800] that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had rentH7167[H8804] his clothesH899, that he sentH7971[H8799] to the kingH4428, sayingH559[H8800], Wherefore hast thou rentH7167[H8804] thy clothesH899? let him comeH935[H8799] now to me, and he shall knowH3045[H8799] that there isH3426 a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478.
[9]So NaamanH5283 cameH935[H8799] with his horsesH5483 and with his chariotH7393, and stoodH5975[H8799] at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004 of ElishaH477.
[10]And ElishaH477 sentH7971[H8799] a messengerH4397 unto him, sayingH559[H8800], GoH1980[H8800] and washH7364[H8804] in JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and thy fleshH1320 shall come againH7725[H8799] to thee, and thou shalt be cleanH2891.[H8798]
[11]But NaamanH5283 was wrothH7107[H8799], and went awayH3212[H8799], and saidH559[H8799], Behold, I thoughtH559[H8804], He will surelyH3318[H8800] come outH3318[H8799] to me, and standH5975[H8804], and callH7121[H8804] on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and strikeH5130[H8689] his handH3027 over the placeH4725, and recoverH622[H8804] the leperH6879.[H8794]
[12]Are not AbanaH71[H8676][H549] and PharparH6554, riversH5104 of DamascusH1834, betterH2896 than all the watersH4325 of IsraelH3478? may I not washH7364[H8799] in them, and be cleanH2891[H8804]? So he turnedH6437[H8799] and went awayH3212[H8799] in a rageH2534.
[13]And his servantsH5650 came nearH5066[H8799], and spakeH1696[H8762] unto him, and saidH559[H8799], My fatherH1, if the prophetH5030 had bidH1696[H8765] thee do some greatH1419 thingH1697, wouldest thou not have doneH6213[H8799] it? how much rather thenH637, when he saithH559[H8804] to thee, WashH7364[H8798], and be cleanH2891?[H8798]
[14]Then went he downH3381[H8799], and dippedH2881[H8799] himself sevenH7651 timesH6471 in JordanH3383, according to the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430: and his fleshH1320 came againH7725[H8799] like unto the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 childH5288, and he was cleanH2891.[H8799]
[15]And he returnedH7725[H8799] to the manH376 of GodH430, he and all his companyH4264, and cameH935[H8799], and stoodH5975[H8799] beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559[H8799], Behold, now I knowH3045[H8804] that there is no GodH430 in all the earthH776, but in IsraelH3478: now therefore, I pray thee, takeH3947[H8798] a blessingH1293 of thy servantH5650.
[16]But he saidH559[H8799], As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975[H8804], I will receiveH3947[H8799] none. And he urgedH6484[H8799] him to takeH3947[H8800] it; but he refusedH3985.[H8762]
[17]And NaamanH5283 saidH559[H8799], Shall there not then, I pray thee, be givenH5414[H8714] to thy servantH5650 twoH6776 mules'H6505 burdenH4853 of earthH127? for thy servantH5650 will henceforth offerH6213[H8799] neither burnt offeringH5930 nor sacrificeH2077 unto otherH312 godsH430, but unto the LORDH3068.
[18]In this thingH1697 the LORDH3068 pardonH5545[H8799] thy servantH5650, that when my masterH113 goethH935[H8800] into the houseH1004 of RimmonH7417 to worshipH7812[H8692] there, and he leanethH8172[H8737] on my handH3027, and I bowH7812[H8694] myself in the houseH1004 of RimmonH7417: when I bow downH7812[H8692] myself in the houseH1004 of RimmonH7417, the LORDH3068 pardonH5545[H8799] thy servantH5650 in this thingH1697.
[19]And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, GoH3212[H8798] in peaceH7965. So he departedH3212[H8799] from him a littleH3530 wayH776.
[20]But GehaziH1522, the servantH5288 of ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430, saidH559[H8799], Behold, my masterH113 hath sparedH2820[H8804] NaamanH5283 this SyrianH761, in not receivingH3947[H8800] at his handsH3027 that which he broughtH935[H8689]: but, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, I will runH7323[H8804] afterH310 him, and takeH3947[H8804] somewhat of himH3972.
[21]So GehaziH1522 followedH7291[H8799] afterH310 NaamanH5283. And when NaamanH5283 sawH7200[H8799] him runningH7323[H8801] afterH310 him, he lighted downH5307[H8799] from the chariotH4818 to meetH7125[H8800] him, and saidH559[H8799], Is all wellH7965?
[22]And he saidH559[H8799], All is wellH7965. My masterH113 hath sentH7971[H8804] me, sayingH559[H8800], Behold, even now there be comeH935[H8804] to me from mountH2022 EphraimH669 twoH8147 young menH5288 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030: giveH5414[H8798] them, I pray thee, a talentH3603 of silverH3701, and twoH8147 changesH2487 of garmentsH899.
[23]And NaamanH5283 saidH559[H8799], Be contentH2974[H8685], takeH3947[H8798] two talentsH3603. And he urgedH6555[H8799] him, and boundH6696[H8799] twoH8147 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 in twoH8147 bagsH2754, with twoH8147 changesH2487 of garmentsH899, and laidH5414[H8799] them upon twoH8147 of his servantsH5288; and they bareH5375[H8799] them before himH6440.
[24]And when he cameH935[H8799] to the towerH6076, he tookH3947[H8799] them from their handH3027, and bestowedH6485[H8799] them in the houseH1004: and he let the menH582 goH7971[H8762], and they departedH3212.[H8799]
[25]But he went inH935[H8802], and stoodH5975[H8799] before his masterH113. And ElishaH477 saidH559[H8799] unto him, WhenceH370 comest thou, GehaziH1522? And he saidH559[H8799], Thy servantH5650 wentH1980[H8804] no whitherH575.
[26]And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, WentH1980[H8804] not mine heartH3820 with thee, when the manH376 turnedH2015[H8804] again from his chariotH4818 to meetH7125[H8800] thee? Is it a timeH6256 to receiveH3947[H8800] moneyH3701, and to receiveH3947[H8800] garmentsH899, and oliveyardsH2132, and vineyardsH3754, and sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198?
[27]The leprosyH6883 therefore of NaamanH5283 shall cleaveH1692[H8799] unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233 for everH5769. And he went outH3318[H8799] from his presenceH6440 a leperH6879[H8794] as white as snowH7950.
