    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.

    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.

    23And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him.

    24And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hands, and stored them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

    25But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you been, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere.

    26And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive clothing, olive groves, and vineyards, sheep, oxen, male servants, and female servants?

    27Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you, and to your descendants forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
