1And Naaman, ruler of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man before his lord and lifted of face, for by him the LORD had given deliverance to Aram. And the man was a mighty man of valor, leprous.2And Aram had gone out in bands and had taken captive from the land of Israel a young girl, and she was before the wife of Naaman.3And she said to her mistress, "O that my lord were before the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would gather him from his leprosy."4And he came and told his lord, saying, "Thus and thus spoke the girl who is from the land of Israel."5And the king of Aram said, "Go, come, and I will send a document to the king of Israel." And he went and took in his hand ten talents of silver and six thousand of gold and ten changes of garments.6And he brought the document to the king of Israel, saying, "And now, when this document comes to you, behold, I have sent to you Naaman my servant, that you may gather him from his leprosy."7And it happened when the king of Israel read the document that he tore his garments and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this one sends to me to gather a man from his leprosy? Surely know, please, and see that he is seeking occasion against me."8And it happened when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his garments that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your garments? Let him come now to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel."9And Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots and stood at the entrance of the house of Elisha.10And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you and you shall be pure."11And Naaman was angry and went and said, "Behold, I said, '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 gather the leprous one.'"12"Are not Abana and Amana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be pure?" So he turned and went in rage.13And his servants drew near and spoke to him and said, "My father, if the prophet had spoken to you a great word, would you not do it? How much more when he says to you, 'Wash and be pure'!"14And he went down and dipped in the Jordan seven times according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh returned like the flesh of a small youth, and he was pure.15And he returned to the man of God, he and all his camp, and he came and stood before him and said, "Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. So now take, please, a blessing from your servant."16And he said, "As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, if I take it." And he pressed him to take, but he refused.17And Naaman said, "If not, let there be given, please, to your servant a burden of a pair of mules of earth, for your servant will no longer make burnt offering and sacrifice to other gods, but only to the LORD.18For this word may the LORD forgive your servant: when my lord comes into the house of Rimmon to bow there and he leans on my hand and I bow in the house of Rimmon—when I bow in the house of Rimmon, may the LORD forgive your servant for this word."19And he said to him, "Go in peace." And he went from him a distance of land.20And Gehazi the youth of Elisha the man of God said, "Behold, my lord has withheld this Aramean Naaman from taking from his hand what he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him."21And Gehazi pursued after Naaman. And Naaman saw him running after him and fell from the chariot to meet him and said, "Is it peace?"22And he said, "Peace. My lord sent me, saying, 'Behold, now these two youths from the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountain of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.'"23And Naaman said, "Be willing, take two talents." And he urged him and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and gave them to his two servants, and they carried them before him.24And he came to the hill and took them from their hand and deposited them in the house, and he sent the men away and they went.25And he came and stood before his lord, and Elisha said to him, "From where, Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant did not go anywhere."26And he said to him, "Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to take the silver and to take garments and olive trees and vineyards and flock and cattle and servants and maidservants?27And the leprosy of Naaman shall cleave to you and to your seed forever." And he went out from before him leprous as snow.
