King James Version
And
Naaman, head
of the host of the king of Aram
, was a great man before
his lord
, and accepted
of
face
, for
by him had Jehovah
given salvation
to
Aram,
and
the
man
was mighty in valour
--
leprous
.
Now
Naaman, captain
of the host of the king of Syria
, was a great man with
his master
, and honorable
, because
by him the
LORD
had given deliverance
unto
Syria:
he
was also
a
mighty man
in valor,
but
he
was
a
leper
.
And the Aramaeans
have
gone out `
by '
troops
, and they
take
captive out of the land of Israel a little damsel,
and she is
before
the
wife of
Naaman,
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 .
and she saith
unto her mistress, `O
that
my lord `
were '
before
the prophet who
`
is '
in Samaria ;
then
he doth
recover him from
his leprosy. '
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.
And `
one '
goeth
in and declareth
to
his lord, saying, `
Thus and thus she
hath
spoken,
the damsel
who
`
is '
from
the land of Israel. '
And one went
in ,
and told
his lord, saying, Thus and thus said
the maid
that
is of
the land of Israel.
And the king of Aram
saith
, `
Go thou
, enter
, and I send a letter unto the king of Israel ;'
and he goeth
and taketh
in
his
hand
ten talents of silver, and six thousand `
pieces '
of gold, and ten changes of garments
.
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
.
And he bringeth
in
the letter unto
the king of Israel, saying, `And
now ,
at
the
coming
in
of
this letter unto thee, lo
, I have sent unto
thee
Naaman my servant, and
thou hast
recovered
him from
his leprosy. '
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.
And it cometh
to pass, at
the king of Israel's
reading
the letter, that he rendeth
his garments
, and saith
, `
Am I God, to put
to
death
and to keep
alive, that this `one'
is
sending
unto me to recover a man from
his leprosy? for
surely
know
, I pray you, and see ,
for
he is
presenting
himself
to
me. '
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.
And it cometh
to
pass
, at
Elisha the man of God's
hearing
that the king of Israel hath
rent his garments
, that he sendeth
unto
the king, saying, `Why
hast thou rent thy garments
? let him come ,
I
pray
thee,
unto
me, and he doth
know that there is a prophet in Israel. '
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.
And
Naaman cometh,
with his horses and with his chariot, and standeth
at the opening
of the house for
Elisha ;
So
Naaman came
with his horses and with his chariot, and stood
at the door
of the house of
Elisha .
and Elisha sendeth
unto
him
a messenger, saying, `
Go ,
and thou
hast
washed
seven
times
in Jordan, and thy flesh doth
turn
back
to thee --
and be
thou clean.
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.
And
Naaman is
wroth, and goeth
on
, and saith
, `Lo
, I said
, Unto
me
he doth
certainly
come out, and hath
stood
and called
in
the name of Jehovah
his God, and waved
his hand over the place, and recovered
the leper.
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.
Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? do
I not wash in them and I
have
been
clean? '
and
he turneth
and goeth
on
in fury
.
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
.
And his servants come
nigh
, and speak
unto him, and say
, `
My father, a
great
thing
had
the prophet spoken
unto
thee --
dost
thou not do
`
it '
? and
surely
, when he hath
said
unto
thee, Wash, and be clean .'
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 ?
And
he goeth
down and dippeth
in
Jordan
seven times, according to the word
of the man of God ,
and his flesh doth
turn
back
as
the flesh of a little youth
, and is
clean.
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.
And he turneth
back
unto
the man of God, he and all his camp
, and cometh
in
, and standeth
before him ,
and saith,
`Lo
, I
pray
thee
, I have
known
that there is not
a
God in all the earth except
in Israel ;
and
now ,
take
, I pray thee, a blessing from
thy servant. '
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.
And
he saith
, `Jehovah
liveth, before whom I have
stood
--
if
I take
`it';'
and he presseth
on
him to take ,
and
he refuseth
.
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
.
And Naaman saith
, `If
not --
let
be
given
, I pray thee, to thy servant ,
a
couple
of
mules' burden of earth ,
for thy servant doth
make
no
more
burnt -
offering and
sacrifice to
other gods, but to
Jehovah
.
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
.
For
this thing Jehovah
be
propitious
to
thy servant, in
the
coming
in
of
my lord
into the house of Rimmon to bow
himself
there, and he was
supported
by
my hand, and I bowed
myself `
in '
the house of Rimmon ;
for
my
bowing
myself in the house of Rimmon Jehovah
be
propitious
, I
pray
thee,
to
thy servant in this thing. '
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.
And he saith
to
him, `
Go in peace. '
And
he goeth
from him a kibrath
of
land,
And he said
unto
him, Go in peace. So
he departed
from him a little
way.
And
Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of God, saith
, `Lo
, my lord
hath spared Naaman this Aramaean
, not to
receive
from
his hand
that which he brought ;
Jehovah
liveth ;
surely
if
I have
run after him, then
I
have
taken
from
him something
. '
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.
And
Gehazi pursueth
after Naaman ,
and Naaman seeth
one
running after him, and
alighteth
from off
the chariot to meet him, and saith
, `
Is there
peace
? '
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
?
And he saith
, `Peace;
my lord
hath sent me, saying, Lo
, now ,
this,
come unto
me have
two young men from
the
hill-country
of Ephraim,
of
the sons of the prophets ;
give, I pray thee, to
them,
a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. '
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.
And Naaman saith
, `
Be pleased
, take two talents ;'
and he urgeth
on
him, and bindeth
two talents of silver in two purses
, and
two changes of garments, and giveth
unto
two of his young
men,
and they bear
before him ;
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 .
and he cometh
in
unto
the high
place
, and
taketh
out
of
their hand, and layeth
up
in the house ,
and sendeth
away
the men, and they go
.
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
.
And
he hath
come
in, and doth
stand
by
his lord,
and Elisha saith
unto him, `
Whence --
Gehazi? '
and he saith
, `
Thy servant went not
hither
or
thither
. '
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
.
And he saith
unto him, `My
heart
went not when the man turned from off
his chariot to meet thee ;
is it a time to take
silver
, and to take
garments, and olives
, and vines
, and flock
, and herd
, and men-servants
, and maid-servants
?
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
?
yea,
the leprosy of Naaman doth
cleave to
thee, and to
thy seed ,
--
to
the
age;'
and he goeth
out from before
him
--
leprous
as snow.
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.
