1 And Naaman chief of the army of the king of Aram was a man before his lord, and he was rifted up in the face, for by him Jehovah gave salvation to Aram: and the man was mighty of strength; being leprous. 2 And Aram will go forth by troops, and take captive from the land of Israel a little girl; and she will be before Naaman's wife. 3 And she will say to her mistress, O that my lord was before the prophet that is in Shomeron! then he will gather him from his leprosy. 4 And one will go and announce to his lord, saying, According to this, and according to this, spake the girl which was from the land of Israel. 5 And the king of Aram will say, Go; come, I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he will go and take in his hand ten talents of silver and six thousand of gold, and ten changes of garments. 6 And he will bring the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when: this letter comes to thee, behold, I sent Naaman my servant, and do thou gather him from his leprosy. 7 And it will be when the king of Israel read the letter, and he will rend his garments and say, Am I God to kill and to make alive, that this one sent to me to gather a man from his leprosy? for surely know ye now, and see that he seeks occasion against me. 8 And it will be when Elisha the man of God heard that, the king of, Israel rent his garments, and he will send to the king, saying, Wherefore rentest thou thy garments? He shall come now to me and know that there is a prophet in Israel. 2 Kings 5:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
