    12'Are not the Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be cleansed?' So he turned and went away in a rage.

    13But his servants approached him and said, 'My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he says to you, “Wash and be cleansed”? '

    14So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. His flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.

    15Then Naaman and all his entourage returned to the man of God. They stood before him, and Naaman said, 'Now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. Please accept a gift from your servant.'

    16But Elisha replied, 'As surely as the LORD lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.' Even though Naaman urged him, he refused.

    17Then Naaman said, 'If you will not, please let your servant be given as much soil as two mules can carry, because from now on your servant will not offer any burnt offering or sacrifice to any other gods but to the LORD.'

    18But may the LORD forgive your servant in this one matter: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down, and he is leaning on my arm and I bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD forgive your servant for this.'

    1Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man in his master's sight and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant warrior, but he had leprosy.

    2One day, Aram's raiding parties went out and captured a young girl from the land of Israel, and she became a servant to Naaman's wife.

    3She said to her mistress, 'If only my master would go to see the prophet in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.'

    4Naaman went and told his master, saying, 'This is what the girl from the land of Israel said.'

    5The king of Aram said, 'Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.' So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothes.

    6He brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read: 'Now, when this letter reaches you, know that I have sent you my servant Naaman, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.'

    7When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, 'Am I God, able to kill and bring to life, that this man sends someone to me to cure him of his leprosy? See for yourselves that he is seeking a quarrel with me!'

    8When Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent the king this message: 'Why have you torn your clothes? Let Naaman come to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.'

    9So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house.

    10Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, 'Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored, and you will be cleansed.'

    24When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the gifts from the servants and stored them inside the house. Then he sent the men away, and they left.

    25When Gehazi went inside and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, 'Where have you been, Gehazi?' He answered, 'Your servant didn’t go anywhere.'

    26But Elisha said to him, 'Was my spirit not with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money or accept clothes, olive groves, vineyards, sheep, cattle, male servants, and female servants?'

    27Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever.' Then Gehazi went out from Elisha's presence, leprous, as white as snow.
