1	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# . [with: Heb. before] [honourable: or, gracious: Heb. lifted up, or, accepted in countenance] [deliverance: or, victory]
			2	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. [waited...: Heb. was before]
			3	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. [with: Heb. before] [recover: Heb. gather in]
			4	And one went in# , and told# his lord, saying# , Thus and thus said# the maid that is of the land of Israel.
			5	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. [with...: Heb. in his hand]
			6	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.
			7	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.
			8	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.
			9	So Naaman came# with his horses and with his chariot, and stood# at the door of the house of Elisha.
			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# .
			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# . [I thought: Heb. I said] [I thought...: or, I said with myself, He will surely come out, etc: Heb. I said] [strike: Heb. move up and down]
			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. [Abana: or, Amana]
			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# ?
			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# .
			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.
			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# .
			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.
			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.
			19	And he said# unto him, Go# in peace. So he departed# from him a little way. [a little...: Heb. a little piece of ground]
			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.
			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? [Is...: Heb. Is there peace?]
			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.
			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.
			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# . [tower: or, secret place]
			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. [no whither: Heb. not hither or thither]
			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?
			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.
