2 Kings 5 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Naaman Is Healed

Now Naaman^H5283, commander^H8269 of the army^H6635 of the king^H4428 of Aram^H758, was a great^H1419 man^H376 [fn]in the view of his master^H113, and eminent^H5375^H6440, because^H3588 by him the LORD^H3068 had given^H5414 victory^H8668 to Aram^H758. The man^H376 was also a valiant^H2428 warrior^H1368, but afflicted^H6879 with^H6879 leprosy^H6879.

2Ki 5:2

2Ki 5:2Now the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken captive a little girl from the land of Israel; and she [fn]waited on Naaman’s wife.

2Ki 5:3

2Ki 5:3And she said to her mistress, “If only my master were [fn]with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his leprosy.”

2Ki 5:4

2Ki 5:4And [fn]Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “The girl who is from the land of Israel spoke such and such.”

2Ki 5:5

2Ki 5:5Then the king of Aram said, “Go [fn]now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed and took with him ten [fn]talents of silver, six thousand [fn]shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothes.

2Ki 5:6

And he brought^H935 the letter^H5612 to the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, [fn]which said^H559, “And now^H6258 as this^H2088 letter^H5612 comes^H935 to you, behold^H2009, I have sent^H7971 Naaman^H5283 my servant^H5650 to you, so that you may cure^H622 him of his leprosy^H6883.”

2Ki 5:7

2Ki 5:7But when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to keep alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But consider now, and see how he is seeking [fn]a quarrel against me.”

2Ki 5:8

Now it happened^H1961, when Elisha^H477 the man^H376 of God^H430 heard^H8085 that the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 had torn^H7167 his clothes^H899, that he sent^H7971 word to the king^H4428, saying^H559, “Why^H4100 did you tear^H7167 your clothes^H899? Just^H4994 have him come^H935 to me, and he shall learn^H3045 that there^H3426 is^H3426 a prophet^H5030 in Israel^H3478.”

2Ki 5:9

2Ki 5:9So Naaman came with his horses and his chariots, and stood at the doorway of Elisha’s house.

2Ki 5:10

2Ki 5:10And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored to you and you will be clean.”

2Ki 5:11

2Ki 5:11But Naaman was furious and went away, and he said, “Behold, I [fn]thought, ‘He will certainly come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the site and cure the [fn]leprosy.’

2Ki 5:12

2Ki 5:12“Are [fn]Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, not better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.

2Ki 5:13

2Ki 5:13Then his servants approached and spoke to him, [fn]saying, “My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”

2Ki 5:14

2Ki 5:14So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, in accordance with the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

Gehazi’s Greed

2Ki 5:15

Then he returned^H7725 to the man^H376 of God^H430 [fn]with all^H3605 his company^H4264, and came^H935 and stood^H5975 before^H6440 him. And he said^H559, “Behold^H2009 now^H4994, I know^H3045 that there^H369 is^H369 no^H369 God^H430 in all^H3605 the earth^H776, except^H3588^H518 in Israel^H3478; so please^H4994 accept^H3947 a [fn]gift^H1293 from your servant^H5650 now^H6258.”

2Ki 5:16

2Ki 5:16But he said, “As surely as the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will accept nothing.” And he urged him to accept it, but he refused.

2Ki 5:17

2Ki 5:17Then Naaman said, “If not, please let your servant be given two mules’ load of earth; for your servant will no longer offer a burnt offering nor a sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.

2Ki 5:18

2Ki 5:18“Regarding this matter may the LORD forgive your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand and I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may the LORD please forgive your servant in this matter.”

2Ki 5:19

2Ki 5:19He said to him, “Go in peace.” So he went some distance from him.

2Ki 5:20

But Gehazi^H1522, the servant^H5288 of Elisha^H477 the man^H376 of God^H430, [fn]thought^H559, “Behold^H2009, my master^H113 has spared^H2820 this^H2088 Naaman^H5283 the Aramean^H761, [fn]by not accepting^H3947 from his hand^H3027 what^H834 he brought^H935. As the LORD^H3068 lives^H2416, I will run^H7323 after^H310 him and take^H3947 something^H3972 from him.”

2Ki 5:21

2Ki 5:21So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him and said, “Is everything well?”

2Ki 5:22

2Ki 5:22And he said, “Everything is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.’”

2Ki 5:23

2Ki 5:23Naaman said, “Be sure to take two talents.” And he urged him, and tied up two talents of silver in two bags with two changes of clothes, and gave them to two of his servants; and they carried them before him.

2Ki 5:24

2Ki 5:24When he came to the [fn]hill, he took them from their hand and deposited them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed.

2Ki 5:25

2Ki 5:25But he went in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.”

2Ki 5:26

Then he said^H559 to him, “Did my heart^H3820 not go^H1980 with you, when^H834 the man^H376 turned^H2015 from his chariot^H4818 to meet^H7122 you? Is it a time^H6256 to accept^H3947 money^H3701 and to accept^H3947 clothes^H899, olive^H2132 groves^H2132, vineyards^H3754, sheep^H6629, oxen^H1241, and male^H5650 and female^H8198 slaves^H5650^H8198?

2Ki 5:27

2Ki 5:27“Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your [fn]descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence afflicted with leprosy, as white as snow.
