    1Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.

    2And the Syrians had gone out in bands, and had taken captive from the land of Israel a little maid; and she served Naaman's wife.

    3And she said to her mistress, If only my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.

    4And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid who is from the land of Israel.

    5And the king of Syria said, Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand gold pieces, and ten changes of clothing.

    6And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter reaches you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.

    7And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? Therefore consider, please, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.

    8And it happened, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

    9So Naaman came with his horses and chariot, and stood at the door of Elisha's house.

    10And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.

    11But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.

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

    13And his servants came near, and spoke to 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 clean?

    14Then he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

    15And he returned to the man of God, he and all his entourage, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, please, take a blessing from your servant.

    16But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

    17And Naaman said, If not, please let there be given to your servant two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.

    18In this thing may the LORD pardon your servant, when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may the LORD pardon your servant in this thing.

    19And he said to him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.

    20But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, by not receiving from his hands what he brought: but, as the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.

    21So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

    22And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, now there have come to me from Mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: please give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.
