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

    10 Elisha 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.'

    11 But Naaman became angry and left, saying, 'I thought he would surely come out to me, stand, call on the name of the LORD his God, wave his hand over the spot, and cure the leprosy.'

    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.

    13 But 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”? '

    14 So 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.

    15 Then 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.'

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

    19 'Go in peace,' Elisha said. So Naaman departed and traveled some distance.

    20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said to himself, 'Look, my master has let this Aramean, Naaman, go without accepting what he brought. As surely as the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him.'

    21 So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from his chariot to meet him and asked, 'Is everything all right?'

    22 Gehazi replied, 'Everything is all right. My master has sent me to say, “Two young men from the company of the prophets in the hill country of Ephraim have just come to me. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothes.”'

    23 Naaman said, 'Please take two talents.' He urged Gehazi, tied up two talents of silver in two bags, along with two sets of clothes, and gave them to his two servants, who carried them ahead of Gehazi.

    24 When 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.

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

    1 Naaman, 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.

    2 One 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.

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

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

    5 The 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.

    6 He 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.'

    7 When 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!'
