1
Now Naa
man
,
captain
of the army
of the king
of Aram,
was a great
man
with his master,
and highly respected,
because
by him the LORD
had given
victory
to Aram.
The
man
was also a valiant
warrior,
but he was a leper.
2
Now the Arameans
had gone
out in bands
and had taken
captive
a little
girl
from the land
of Israel;
and she waited
on Naaman's
wife.
3
She said
to her mistress,
"I wish
that my master
were with the prophet
who
is in Samaria!
Then
he would cure
him of his leprosy."
4
Naaman went
in and told
his master,
saying,
"Thus and thus
spoke
the girl
who
is from the land
of Israel."
5
Then the king
of Aram
said,
"Go
now,
and I will send
a letter
to the king
of Israel."
He departed
and took
with him ten
talents
of silver
and six
thousand
shekels of gold
and ten
changes
of clothes.
6
He brought
the
letter
to the king
of Israel,
saying,
"And now
as this
letter
comes
to you, behold,
I have sent
Naaman
my servant
to you, 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,
to kill
and to make alive,
that this
man is sending
word to me to cure
a man
of his leprosy?
But consider
now,
and see
how
he is seeking a quarrel
against me."
8
It happened
when Elisha
the man
of God
heard
that the king
of Israel
had torn
his clothes,
that he sent
word to the king,
saying,
"Why
have you torn
your clothes?
Now
let him come
to me, and he shall know
that there
is a prophet
in Israel."
9
So Naaman
came
with his horses
and his chariots
and stood
at the doorway
of the house
of Elisha.
10
Elisha
sent
a messenger
to him, saying,
"Go
and wash
in the Jordan
seven
times,
and your flesh
will be restored
to you and you will be clean."
11
But Naaman
was furious
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 cure
the leper.'
12
"Are not Abanah
and Pharpar,
the 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.
13
Then his servants
came near
and spoke
to him and said,
"My father,
had the prophet
told
you to do some great
thing,
would you not have done
it? How much
more
then, when
he says
to you, 'Wash,
and be clean '?"
14
So he went down
and dipped
himself seven
times
in the Jordan,
according to the word
of the man
of God;
and his flesh
was restored
like the flesh
of a little
child
and he was clean.
15
When he returned
to the man
of
God
with all
his company,
and came
and stood
before
him, he said,
"Behold
now,
I know
that there is no
God
in all
the earth,
but in Israel;
so please
take
a present
from your servant
now."
16
But he said,
"As the LORD
lives,
before
whom
I stand,
I will take
nothing."
And he urged
him to take
it, but he refused.
17
Naaman
said,
"If not, please
let your servant
at least be given
two
mules'
load
of earth;
for your servant
will no
longer
offer
burnt offering
nor
will he sacrifice
to other
gods,
but to the LORD.
18
"In this
matter
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
myself in the house
of Rimmon
,
the LORD
pardon
your servant
in this
matter
."
19
He said
to him, "Go
in peace."
So he departed
from him some distance.
20
But Gehazi,
the servant
of Elisha
the man
of God,
thought,
"Behold,
my master
has spared
this
Naaman
the Aramean,
by not receiving
from his hands
what
he brought.
As the LORD
lives,
I will run
after
him and take
something
from him."
21
So Gehazi
pursued
Naaman.
When Naaman
saw
one running
after
him, he came down
from the chariot
to meet
him and said,
"Is all well?"
22
He said,
"All is well.
My master
has sent
me, saying,
'Behold,
just
now
two
young men
of the sons
of the prophets
have come
to me from the hill country
of Ephraim.
Please
give
them a talent
of silver
and
two
changes
of clothes.'"
23
Naaman
said,
"Be pleased
to take
two talents
."
And he urged
him, and bound
two talents
of silver
in two
bags
with two
changes
of clothes
and gave
them to two
of his servants;
and they carried
them before
him.
24
When he came
to the hill,
he took
them from their hand
and deposited
them in the house,
and he sent
the men
away,
and they departed.
25
But 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."
26
Then he said
to him, "Did not my heart
go
with you, when
the man
turned
from his chariot
to meet
you? Is it a time
to receive
money
and
to receive
clothes
and olive groves
and vineyards
and sheep
and oxen
and male
and female
servants?
27
"Therefore, the leprosy
of Naaman
shall cling
to you and to your descendants
forever."
So he went
out from his presence
a leper
as white as snow.
