The man was also a mighty man of valor, <i>but he was</i> a leper. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Now the Arameans had gone out in marauding bands and had taken captive a little girl from the land of Israel; and she <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>waited on Naaman’s wife. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And she said to her mistress, “I wish that my master were before the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his leprosy.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Then <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus spoke the girl who is from the land of Israel.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Then the king of Aram said, “Go <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he went and took in his hand <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>ten talents of silver and <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>six thousand <i>shekels</i> of gold and ten changes of clothes. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, <HLL>“So now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Now it happened that when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to put to death and to make alive, that this man is sending <i>word</i> to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But know now, and see how he is seeking <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>a quarrel against me.” <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Now it happened when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent <i>word</i> 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.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>So Naaman came with his horses and his chariots and stood at the doorway of the house of Elisha. <span class="reftext"><a href="/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 will be restored to you and <i>you will</i> be clean.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>But Naaman was furious and went away and said, “Behold, I said <i>to myself</i>, ‘He will surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Are not <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>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 wrath. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then his servants approached and spoke to him and said, “My father, had the prophet spoken with you <i>to do some</i> great thing, would you not have done <i>it</i>? How much more <i>then</i>, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>So he went down and dipped <i>himself</i> seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a young boy and he was clean. <p class="hdg">Gehazi’s Leprosy</p><p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Then he returned to the man of God <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>with all his camp, and came and stood before him, and said, “Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; so now please take a blessing from your servant.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>But he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will take nothing.” And he urged him to take <i>it</i>, but he refused. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>So 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 Yahweh. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>In this matter may Yahweh 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, Yahweh pardon your servant in this matter.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And he said to him, “Go in peace.” So he went from him some distance. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Then Gehazi, the young man of Elisha the man of God, said <i>to himself</i>, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>by not receiving from his hands what he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him and take something from him.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>So Gehazi pursued Naaman. And Naaman saw one running after him, so he came down from the chariot to meet him and said, “Is <i>all</i> at peace?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And he said, “<i>All</i> is at peace. 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.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Then 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 <i>them</i> to two of his young men; and they carried <i>them</i> before him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>So he came to the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>hill, and he took them from their hand and deposited them in the house. Then he sent the men away, and they departed. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>But he came in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go <i>with you</i>, 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 slaves? <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/5-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Thus the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your seed forever.” So he went out from his presence a leper <i>as white</i> as snow.<A name="fn"></a></p><br /><br /><span class="fnverse">1</span> Lit <i>before</i><br><span class="fnverse">1</span> Lit <i>the one whose face is lifted up</i><br><span class="fnverse">2</span> Lit <i>was before</i><br><span class="fnverse">4</span> Lit <i>He</i><br><span class="fnverse">5</span> Lit <i>enter</i><br><span class="fnverse">5</span> Approx. 750 lb. or 340 kg, a talent was approx. 75 lb. or 34 kg<br><span class="fnverse">5</span> Approx. 150 lb. or 66 kg, a shekel was approx. 0.4 oz. or 11 gm<br><span class="fnverse">7</span> Lit <i>an occasion</i><br><span class="fnverse">12</span> Or <i>Amanah</i><br><span class="fnverse">15</span> Lit <i>he and</i><br><span class="fnverse">20</span> Lit <i>from</i><br><span class="fnverse">24</span> Heb <i>ophel</i><br></div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation<br>All rights reserved.
