2 Kings 5: 1 - 5
|
| 1
|
Na'aman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master and in high favor, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.

|
Now the Syrians on one of their raids had carried off a little maid from the land of Israel, and she waited on Na'aman's wife.
|
| 3
|
She said to her mistress, "Would that my lord were with the prophet who is in Sama'ria! He would cure him of his leprosy."
|
| 4
|
So Na'aman went in and told his lord, "Thus and so spoke the maiden from the land of Israel."
|
| 5
|
And the king of Syria said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." So he went, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten festal garments.
