12_2KI_05_01 now Naaman , captain of the host of the king of Syria , was A great man with his master , And honourable , because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria : he was also A mighty man in valour , [ but he was ] A leper .
12_2KI_05_02 And the Syrians had gone out by companies , And had brought away captive out of the land of Israel A little maid ; And she waited on Naaman's wife .
12_2KI_05_03 And she said unto her mistress , would God my LORD [ were ] with the prophet that [ Is ] in Samaria ! for he would recover him of his leprosy .
12_2KI_05_04 And [ one ] went in , And told his LORD , saying , thus And thus said the maid that [ Is ] of the land of Israel .
12_2KI_05_05 And the king of Syria said , go to , go , And I will send A letter unto the king of Israel . And he departed , And took with him ten talents of silver , And six thousand [ pieces ] of gold , And ten changes of raiment .
12_2KI_05_06 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel , saying , now when this letter Is come unto thee , behold , I have [ therewith ] sent Naaman my servant to thee , that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy .
12_2KI_05_07 And it came to pass , when the king of Israel had read the letter , that he rent his clothes , And said , [ am ] I God , to kill And to make alive , that this man Doth send unto me to recover A man of his leprosy ? Wherefore consider , I pray you , And see how he seeketh A quarrel against me .
12_2KI_05_08 And it was [ So ] , when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes , that he sent to the king , saying , Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes ? let him come now to me , And he shall know that there Is A prophet in Israel .
12_2KI_05_09 So Naaman came with his horses And with his chariot , And stood at the door of the house of Elisha .
12_2KI_05_10 And Elisha sent A messenger unto him , saying , go And Wash in Jordan seven times , And thy flesh shall come again to thee , And thou shalt be clean .
12_2KI_05_11 but Naaman was wroth , 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 strike his hand over the place , And recover the leper .
12_2KI_05_12 [ are ] not Abana And Pharpar , rivers of Damascus , Better than all the waters of Israel ? may I not Wash in them , And be clean ? So he turned And went away in A rage .
12_2KI_05_13 And his servants came near , And spake unto him , And said , my Father , [ if ] the prophet had Bid thee [ do some ] great thing , wouldest thou not have done [ it ] ? how much rather Then , when he saith to thee , Wash , And be clean ?
12_2KI_05_14 Then went he down , And dipped himself seven times in Jordan , according to the saying of the man of God : And his flesh came again like unto the flesh of A little child , And he was clean .
12_2KI_05_15 And he returned to the man of God , he And all his company , 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 , I pray thee , take A blessing of thy servant .
12_2KI_05_16 but he said , [ as ] the LORD liveth , before whom I stand , I will receive none . And he urged him to take [ it ] ; but he refused .
12_2KI_05_17 And Naaman said , shall there not Then , I pray thee , be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth ? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods , but unto the LORD .
12_2KI_05_18 in this thing the LORD pardon thy servant , [ that ] when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there , And he leaneth on my hand , And I bow myself in the house of Rimmon : when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon , the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing .
12_2KI_05_19 And he said unto him , go in peace . So he departed from him A little way .
12_2KI_05_20 but Gehazi , the servant of Elisha the man of God , said , behold , my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian , in not receiving at his hands that which he brought : but , [ as ] the LORD liveth , I will run after him , And take somewhat of him .
12_2KI_05_21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman . And when Naaman saw [ him ] running after him , he lighted down from the chariot to meet him , And said , [ Is ] all Well ?
12_2KI_05_22 And he said , all [ Is ] Well . my master hath sent me , saying , behold , even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets : give them , I pray thee , A talent of silver , And two changes of garments .
12_2KI_05_23 And Naaman said , be content , take two talents . And he urged him , And bound two talents of silver in two bags , with two changes of garments , And laid [ them ] upon two of his servants ; And they bare [ them ] before him .
12_2KI_05_24 And when he came to the tower , he took [ them ] from their hand , And bestowed [ them ] in the house : And he let the men go , And they departed .
12_2KI_05_25 but he went in , And stood before his master . And Elisha said unto him , whence [ comest thou ] , Gehazi ? And he said , thy servant went no whither .
12_2KI_05_26 And he said unto him , went not mine heart [ with thee ] , when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee ? [ Is it ] A time to receive money , And to receive garments , And oliveyards , And vineyards , And sheep , And oxen , And menservants , And maidservants ?
12_2KI_05_27 the leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee , And unto thy seed for ever . And he went out from his presence A leper [ as white ] as snow .
