2 Kings 5 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

2Ki 5:1

2Ki 5:1Now Na`aman, captain of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given victory to Aram: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.

2Ki 5:2

2Ki 5:2The Aram had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of Eretz-Yisra'el a little maiden; and she waited on Na`aman's wife.

2Ki 5:3

2Ki 5:3She said to her mistress, Would that my lord were with the prophet who is in Shomron! then would he recover him of his leprosy.

2Ki 5:4

2Ki 5:4One went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maiden who is of Eretz-Yisra'el.

2Ki 5:5

2Ki 5:5The king of Aram said, Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Yisra'el. He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

2Ki 5:6

2Ki 5:6He brought the letter to the king of Yisra'el, saying, Now when this letter is come to you, behold, I have sent Na`aman my servant to you, that you may recover him of his leprosy.

2Ki 5:7

2Ki 5:7It happened, when the king of Yisra'el had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man does send to me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.

2Ki 5:8

2Ki 5:8It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Yisra'el had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why have you torn your clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Yisra'el.

2Ki 5:9

2Ki 5:9So Na`aman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

2Ki 5:10

2Ki 5:10Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Yarden seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.

2Ki 5:11

2Ki 5:11But Na`aman was angry, 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 wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

2Ki 5:12

2Ki 5:12Aren't Amanah and Parpar, the rivers of Dammesek, better than all the waters of Yisra'el? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

2Ki 5:13

2Ki 5:13His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid you do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? how much rather then, when he says to you, Wash, and be clean?

2Ki 5:14

2Ki 5:14Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Yarden, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

Gehazi's Greed

2Ki 5:15

2Ki 5:15He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, See now, I know that there is no God in all the eretz, but in Yisra'el: now therefore, please take a present from your servant.

2Ki 5:16

2Ki 5:16But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. He urged him to take it; but he refused.

2Ki 5:17

2Ki 5:17Na`aman said, If not, yet, please let there be given to your servant two mules' burden of eretz; for your servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.

2Ki 5:18

2Ki 5:18In this thing the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon your servant in this thing.

2Ki 5:19

2Ki 5:19He said to him, Go in shalom. So he departed from him a little way.

2Ki 5:20

2Ki 5:20But Gechazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared this Na`aman the Arammian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: as the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

2Ki 5:21

2Ki 5:21So Gechazi followed after Na`aman. When Na`aman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

2Ki 5:22

2Ki 5:22He said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Efrayim two young men of the sons of the prophets; please give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.

2Ki 5:23

2Ki 5:23Na`aman said, Be pleased to take two talents. He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they bore them before him.

2Ki 5:24

2Ki 5:24When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.

2Ki 5:25

2Ki 5:25But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, Whence come you, Gechazi? He said, Your servant went no where.

2Ki 5:26

2Ki 5:26He said to him, Didn't my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?

2Ki 5:27

2Ki 5:27The leprosy therefore of Na`aman shall cleave to you, and to your seed forever. He went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
