2 Kings 5

1 Naaman, by the report of a captive maid, is sent to Samaria to be cured of his leprosy. 8 Elisha, sending him to Jordan, cureth him. 15 He refusing Naaman's gifts granted him some of the earth. 20 Gehazi, abusing his master's name unto Naaman, is smitten with leprosy.

 5:1 ¶ Now Naaman, 5283 captain 8269 of the host 6635 of the king 4428 of Syria, 758 was x1961 a great 1419 man 376 with 6440 his master, 113 and honourable, 5375 z8803 x6440 because x3588 by him the LORD 3068 had given 5414 z8804 deliverance 8668 unto Syria: 758 he was x1961 also a mighty 1368 man 376 in valour, 2428 [but he was] a leper. 6879 z8794

 5:2 And the Syrians 758 had gone out 3318 z8804 by companies, 1416 and had brought away captive 7617 z8799 out of the land 776 x4480 of Israel 3478 a little 6996 maid; 5291 and she waited x1961 x6440 on y6440 Naaman's 5283 wife. 802

 5:3 And she said 559 z8799 unto x413 her mistress, 1404 Would y305 God x305 my lord 113 [were] with 6440 the prophet 5030 that x834 [is] in Samaria! 8111 for 227 he would recover 622 z8799 him of his leprosy. 6883 x4480

 5:4 And [one] went in, 935 z8799 and told 5046 z8686 his lord, 113 saying, 559 z8800 Thus x2063 and thus x2063 said 1696 z8765 the maid 5291 that x834 [is] of the land 776 x4480 of Israel. 3478

 5:5 And the king 4428 of Syria 758 said, 559 z8799 Go to, y3212 z8798 x1980 go, 935 z8798 and I will send 7971 z8799 a letter 5612 unto x413 the king 4428 of Israel. 3478 And he departed, y3212 z8799 x1980 and took 3947 z8799 with x3027 him y3027 ten 6235 talents 3603 of silver, 3701 and six 8337 thousand 505 [pieces] of gold, 2091 and ten 6235 changes 2487 of raiment. 899

 5:6 And he brought 935 z8686 the letter 5612 to x413 the king 4428 of Israel, 3478 saying, 559 z8800 Now x6258 when this x2088 letter 5612 is come 935 z8800 unto x413 thee, behold, x2009 I have [therewith] sent 7971 z8804 x853 Naaman 5283 my servant 5650 to x413 thee, that thou mayest recover 622 z8804 him of his leprosy. 6883 x4480

 5:7 And it came to pass, x1961 when the king 4428 of Israel 3478 had read 7121 z8800 x853 the letter, 5612 that he rent 7167 z8799 his clothes, 899 and said, 559 z8799 [Am] I x589 God, 430 to kill 4191 z8687 and to make alive, 2421 z8687 that x3588 this x2088 man y2088 doth send 7971 z8802 unto x413 me to recover 622 z8800 a man 376 of his leprosy? 6883 x4480 wherefore 389 x3588 consider, 3045 z8798 I pray you, x4994 and see 7200 z8798 how x3588 he x1931 seeketh a quarrel 579 z8693 against me.

 5:8 ¶ And it was x1961 [so], when Elisha 477 the man 376 of God 430 had heard 8085 z8800 that x3588 the king 4428 of Israel 3478 had rent 7167 z8804 x853 his clothes, 899 that he sent 7971 z8799 to x413 the king, 4428 saying, 559 z8800 Wherefore x4100 hast thou rent 7167 z8804 thy clothes? 899 let him come 935 z8799 now x4994 to x413 me, and he shall know 3045 z8799 that x3588 there is 3426 a prophet 5030 in Israel. 3478

 5:9 So Naaman 5283 came 935 z8799 with his horses 5483 and with his chariot, 7393 and stood 5975 z8799 at the door 6607 of the house 1004 of Elisha. 477

 5:10 And Elisha 477 sent 7971 z8799 a messenger 4397 unto x413 him, saying, 559 z8800 Go 1980 z8800 and wash 7364 z8804 in Jordan 3383 seven 7651 times, 6471 and thy flesh 1320 shall come again 7725 z8799 to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 2891 z8798

 5:11 But Naaman 5283 was wroth, 7107 z8799 and went away, y3212 z8799 x1980 and said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 I thought, 559 z8804 He will surely y3318 z8800 come out 3318 z8799 to x413 me, and stand, 5975 z8804 and call 7121 z8804 on the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 his God, 430 and strike 5130 z8689 his hand 3027 over x413 the place, 4725 and recover 622 z8804 the leper. 6879 z8794

 5:12 [Are] not x3808 Abana 71 z8676 y549 and Pharpar, 6554 rivers 5104 of Damascus, 1834 better 2896 than all x4480 x3605 the waters 4325 of Israel? 3478 may I not x3808 wash 7364 z8799 in them, and be clean? 2891 z8804 So he turned 6437 z8799 and went away y3212 z8799 x1980 in a rage. 2534

 5:13 And his servants 5650 came near, 5066 z8799 and spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 him, and said, 559 z8799 My father, 1 [if] the prophet 5030 had bid 1696 z8765 x413 thee [do some] great 1419 thing, 1697 wouldest thou not x3808 have done 6213 z8799 [it]? how much rather x637 then, y637 when x3588 he saith 559 z8804 to x413 thee, Wash, 7364 z8798 and be clean? 2891 z8798

 5:14 Then went he down, 3381 z8799 and dipped 2881 z8799 himself seven 7651 times 6471 in Jordan, 3383 according to the saying 1697 of the man 376 of God: 430 and his flesh 1320 came again 7725 z8799 like unto the flesh 1320 of a little 6996 child, 5288 and he was clean. 2891 z8799

 5:15 ¶ And he returned 7725 z8799 to x413 the man 376 of God, 430 he x1931 and all x3605 his company, 4264 and came, 935 z8799 and stood 5975 z8799 before 6440 him: and he said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 now x4994 I know 3045 z8804 that x3588 [there is] no x369 God 430 in all x3605 the earth, 776 but x3588 x518 in Israel: 3478 now x6258 therefore, I pray thee, x4994 take 3947 z8798 a blessing 1293 of x4480 x854 thy servant. 5650

 5:16 But he said, 559 z8799 [As] the LORD 3068 liveth, 2416 before 6440 whom x834 I stand, 5975 z8804 I will receive 3947 z8799 none. And he urged 6484 z8799 him to take 3947 z8800 [it]; but he refused. 3985 z8762

 5:17 And Naaman 5283 said, 559 z8799 Shall there not x3808 then, I pray thee, x4994 be given 5414 z8714 to thy servant 5650 two y6776 mules' 6505 x6776 burden 4853 of earth? 127 for x3588 thy servant 5650 will henceforth x5750 offer 6213 z8799 neither x3808 burnt offering 5930 nor sacrifice 2077 unto other 312 gods, 430 but x3588 x518 unto the LORD. 3068

 5:18 In this x2088 thing 1697 the LORD 3068 pardon 5545 z8799 thy servant, 5650 [that] when my master 113 goeth 935 z8800 into the house 1004 of Rimmon 7417 to worship 7812 z8692 there, x8033 and he x1931 leaneth 8172 z8737 on x5921 my hand, 3027 and I bow y7812 z8694 myself x7812 in the house 1004 of Rimmon: 7417 when I bow down y7812 z8692 myself x7812 in the house 1004 of Rimmon, 7417 the LORD 3068 pardon 5545 z8799 thy servant 5650 in this x2088 thing. 1697

 5:19 And he said 559 z8799 unto him, Go y3212 z8798 x1980 in peace. 7965 So he departed y3212 z8799 x1980 from x4480 x854 him a little y3530 way. 776 x3530

 5:20 ¶ But Gehazi, 1522 the servant 5288 of Elisha 477 the man 376 of God, 430 said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 my master 113 hath spared 2820 z8804 x853 Naaman 5283 this x2088 Syrian, 761 in not receiving 3947 z8800 x4480 at his hands 3027 x4480 x853 that which x834 he brought: 935 z8689 but, x3588 x518 [as] the LORD 3068 liveth, 2416 I will run 7323 z8804 after 310 him, and take 3947 z8804 somewhat 3972 of x4480 x854 him.

 5:21 So Gehazi 1522 followed 7291 z8799 after 310 Naaman. 5283 And when Naaman 5283 saw 7200 z8799 [him] running 7323 z8801 after 310 him, he lighted down 5307 z8799 from x4480 x5921 the chariot 4818 to meet y7125 z8800 x7122 him, and said, 559 z8799 [Is] all well? 7965

 5:22 And he said, 559 z8799 All [is] well. 7965 My master 113 hath sent 7971 z8804 me, saying, 559 z8800 Behold, x2009 even now x6258 x2088 there be come 935 z8804 to x413 me from mount 2022 x4480 Ephraim 669 two 8147 young men 5288 of the sons 1121 x4480 of the prophets: 5030 give 5414 z8798 them, I pray thee, x4994 a talent 3603 of silver, 3701 and two 8147 changes 2487 of garments. 899

 5:23 And Naaman 5283 said, 559 z8799 Be content, 2974 z8685 take 3947 z8798 two talents. 3603 And he urged 6555 z8799 him, and bound 6696 z8799 two y8147 talents 3603 of silver 3701 in two 8147 bags, 2754 with two 8147 changes 2487 of garments, 899 and laid 5414 z8799 [them] upon x413 two 8147 of his servants; 5288 and they bare 5375 z8799 [them] before 6440 him.

 5:24 And when he came 935 z8799 to x413 the tower, 6076 he took 3947 z8799 [them] from their hand, 3027 x4480 and bestowed 6485 z8799 [them] in the house: 1004 and he let x853 the men y582 x376 go, 7971 z8762 and they departed. y3212 z8799 x1980

 5:25 But he x1931 went in, 935 z8802 and stood 5975 z8799 before x413 his master. 113 And Elisha 477 said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Whence 370 x4480 [comest thou], Gehazi? 1522 And he said, 559 z8799 Thy servant 5650 went 1980 z8804 no x3808 whither. 575

 5:26 And he said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Went 1980 z8804 not x3808 mine heart 3820 [with thee], when x834 the man 376 turned y2015 z8804 again x2015 from x4480 x5921 his chariot 4818 to meet y7125 z8800 x7122 thee? [Is it] a time 6256 to receive 3947 z8800 x853 money, 3701 and to receive 3947 z8800 garments, 899 and oliveyards, 2132 and vineyards, 3754 and sheep, 6629 and oxen, 1241 and menservants, 5650 and maidservants? 8198

 5:27 The leprosy 6883 therefore of Naaman 5283 shall cleave 1692 z8799 unto thee, and unto thy seed 2233 for ever. 5769 And he went out 3318 z8799 from his presence 6440 x4480 a leper 6879 z8794 [as white] as snow. 7950
