He was also a mighty man of valor, <i>but</i> a leper. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>And the Syrians had gone out on<span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[a]</a></span> raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[b]</a></span>waited on Naaman’s wife. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Then she said to her mistress, “If only my master <i>were</i> with the prophet who <i>is</i> in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>And <i>Naaman</i> went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl who <i>is</i> from the land of Israel.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.”</span></p><p><span class="text 2Kgs-5-5">So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand <i>shekels</i> of gold, and ten changes of clothing. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said,</span></p><div class="left-1 top-1"><p class="first-line-none"><span class="text 2Kgs-5-6">Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.</span></p></div> <p class="first-line-none top-1"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “<i>Am</i> I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>So it was, 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? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and <i>you shall</i> be clean.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out <i>to me,</i> and stand and call on the name of the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span> his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’ </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span><i>Are</i> not the <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[c]</a></span>Abanah and the 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. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, <i>if</i> the prophet had told you <i>to do</i> something great, would you not have done <i>it?</i> How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>So he went down and dipped 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.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, “Indeed, now I know that <i>there is</i> no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>But he said, “<i>As</i> the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span> lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take <i>it,</i> but he refused.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>So Naaman said, “Then, if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span>. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Yet in this thing may the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span> pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span> please pardon your servant in this thing.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a short distance.</span></p> <h3> Gehazi’s Greed</span></h3><p><span class="text 2Kgs-5-20"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but <i>as</i> the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span> lives, I will run after him and take something from him.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw <i>him</i> running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “<i>Is</i> all well?”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And he said, “All <i>is</i> well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Indeed, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.’ ”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>So Naaman said, “Please, take two talents.” And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed <i>them</i> to two of his servants; and they carried <i>them</i> on ahead of him. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>When he came to <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[d]</a></span>the citadel, he took <i>them</i> from their hand, and stored <i>them</i> away in the house; then he let the men go, and they departed. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/5-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Now he went in and stood before his master.
