2Kings:5:8-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it was so ,
when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes ,
that he sent to the king ,
saying ,
Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes ?
let him come now to me ,
and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel .
*
So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot ,
and stood at the door of the house of Elisha .
*
And Elisha sent a messenger unto him ,
saying ,
Go and wash in Jordan seven times ,
and thy flesh shall come again to thee ,
and thou shalt be clean .
*
But Naaman was wroth ,
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 strike his hand over the place ,
and recover the leper .
*
Are not Abana and Pharpar ,
rivers of Damascus ,
better than all the waters of Israel ?
may I not wash in them ,
and be clean ?
So he turned and went away in a rage .
*
And his servants came near ,
and spake unto him ,
and said ,
My father ,
if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing ,
wouldest thou not have done it ?
how much rather then ,
when he saith to thee ,
Wash ,
and be clean ?
*
Then went he down ,
and dipped himself seven times in Jordan ,
according to the saying of the man of God :
and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child ,
and he was clean .
