*
Now Naaman ,
captain of the host of the king of Syria ,
was a great man with his master ,
and honourable ,
because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria :
he was also a mighty man in valour ,
but he was a leper .
*
And the Syrians had gone out by companies ,
and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid ;
and she waited on Naaman '
s wife .
*
And she said unto her mistress ,
Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria !
for he would recover him of his leprosy .
*
And one went in ,
and told his lord ,
saying ,
Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel .
*
And the king of Syria said ,
Go to ,
go ,
and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel .
And he departed ,
and took with him ten talents of silver ,
and six thousand pieces of gold ,
and ten changes of raiment .
*
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel ,
saying ,
Now when this letter is come unto thee ,
behold ,
I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee ,
that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy .
*
And it came to pass ,
when the king of Israel had read the letter ,
that he rent his clothes ,
and said ,
Am I God ,
to kill and to make alive ,
that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy ?
wherefore consider ,
I pray you ,
and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me .
