Dual Panel1Now Naaman <05283>_, captain <08269> of the host <06635> of the king <04428> of Syria <0758>_, was a great <01419> man <0376> with <06440> his master <0113>_, and honourable <05375> (8803)_, because by him the LORD <03068> had given <05414> (8804) deliverance <08668> unto Syria <0758>_: he was also a mighty <01368> man <0376> in valour <02428>_, [but he was] a leper <06879> (8794)_. {with: Heb. before} {honourable: or, gracious: Heb. lifted up, or, accepted in countenance} {deliverance: or, victory}
2And the Syrians <0758> had gone out <03318> (8804) by companies <01416>_, and had brought away captive <07617> (8799) out of the land <0776> of Israel <03478> a little <06996> maid <05291>_; and she waited on <06440> Naaman's <05283> wife <0802>_. {waited...: Heb. was before}
3And she said <0559> (8799) unto her mistress <01404>_, Would <0305> God my lord <0113> [were] with <06440> the prophet <05030> that [is] in Samaria <08111>_! for <0227> he would recover <0622> (8799) him of his leprosy <06883>_. {with: Heb. before} {recover: Heb. gather in}
4And [one] went in <0935> (8799)_, and told <05046> (8686) his lord <0113>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Thus and thus said <01696> (8765) the maid <05291> that [is] of the land <0776> of Israel <03478>_.
5And the king <04428> of Syria <0758> said <0559> (8799)_, Go to <03212> (8798)_, go <0935> (8798)_, and I will send <07971> (8799) a letter <05612> unto the king <04428> of Israel <03478>_. And he departed <03212> (8799)_, and took <03947> (8799) with him <03027> ten <06235> talents <03603> of silver <03701>_, and six <08337> thousand <0505> [pieces] of gold <02091>_, and ten <06235> changes <02487> of raiment <0899>_. {with...: Heb. in his hand}
6And he brought <0935> (8686) the letter <05612> to the king <04428> of Israel <03478>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Now when this letter <05612> is come <0935> (8800) unto thee, behold, I have [therewith] sent <07971> (8804) Naaman <05283> my servant <05650> to thee, that thou mayest recover <0622> (8804) him of his leprosy <06883>_.
7And it came to pass, when the king <04428> of Israel <03478> had read <07121> (8800) the letter <05612>_, that he rent <07167> (8799) his clothes <0899>_, and said <0559> (8799)_, [Am] I God <0430>_, to kill <04191> (8687) and to make alive <02421> (8687)_, that this man <02088> doth send <07971> (8802) unto me to recover <0622> (8800) a man <0376> of his leprosy <06883>_? wherefore <0389> consider <03045> (8798)_, I pray you, and see <07200> (8798) how he seeketh a quarrel <0579> (8693) against me.
8And it was [so], when Elisha <0477> the man <0376> of God <0430> had heard <08085> (8800) that the king <04428> of Israel <03478> had rent <07167> (8804) his clothes <0899>_, that he sent <07971> (8799) to the king <04428>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Wherefore hast thou rent <07167> (8804) thy clothes <0899>_? let him come <0935> (8799) now to me, and he shall know <03045> (8799) that there is <03426> a prophet <05030> in Israel <03478>_.
9So Naaman <05283> came <0935> (8799) with his horses <05483> and with his chariot <07393>_, and stood <05975> (8799) at the door <06607> of the house <01004> of Elisha <0477>_.
10And Elisha <0477> sent <07971> (8799) a messenger <04397> unto him, saying <0559> (8800)_, Go <01980> (8800) and wash <07364> (8804) in Jordan <03383> seven <07651> times <06471>_, and thy flesh <01320> shall come again <07725> (8799) to thee, and thou shalt be clean <02891> (8798)_.
11But Naaman <05283> was wroth <07107> (8799)_, and went away <03212> (8799)_, and said <0559> (8799)_, Behold, I thought <0559> (8804)_, He will surely <03318> (8800) come out <03318> (8799) to me, and stand <05975> (8804)_, and call <07121> (8804) on the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> his God <0430>_, and strike <05130> (8689) his hand <03027> over the place <04725>_, and recover <0622> (8804) the leper <06879> (8794)_. {I thought: Heb. I said} {I thought...: or, I said with myself, He will surely come out, etc} {strike: Heb. move up and down}
12[Are] not Abana <071> (8676) <0549> and Pharpar <06554>_, rivers <05104> of Damascus <01834>_, better <02896> than all the waters <04325> of Israel <03478>_? may I not wash <07364> (8799) in them, and be clean <02891> (8804)_? So he turned <06437> (8799) and went away <03212> (8799) in a rage <02534>_. {Abana: or, Amana}
13And his servants <05650> came near <05066> (8799)_, and spake <01696> (8762) unto him, and said <0559> (8799)_, My father <01>_, [if] the prophet <05030> had bid <01696> (8765) thee [do some] great <01419> thing <01697>_, wouldest thou not have done <06213> (8799) [it]? how much rather then <0637>_, when he saith <0559> (8804) to thee, Wash <07364> (8798)_, and be clean <02891> (8798)_?
14Then went he down <03381> (8799)_, and dipped <02881> (8799) himself seven <07651> times <06471> in Jordan <03383>_, according to the saying <01697> of the man <0376> of God <0430>_: and his flesh <01320> came again <07725> (8799) like unto the flesh <01320> of a little <06996> child <05288>_, and he was clean <02891> (8799)_.
15And he returned <07725> (8799) to the man <0376> of God <0430>_, he and all his company <04264>_, and came <0935> (8799)_, and stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> him: and he said <0559> (8799)_, Behold, now I know <03045> (8804) that [there is] no God <0430> in all the earth <0776>_, but in Israel <03478>_: now therefore, I pray thee, take <03947> (8798) a blessing <01293> of thy servant <05650>_.
16But he said <0559> (8799)_, [As] the LORD <03068> liveth <02416>_, before <06440> whom I stand <05975> (8804)_, I will receive <03947> (8799) none. And he urged <06484> (8799) him to take <03947> (8800) [it]; but he refused <03985> (8762)_.
17And Naaman <05283> said <0559> (8799)_, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given <05414> (8714) to thy servant <05650> two <06776> mules <06505>_' burden <04853> of earth <0127>_? for thy servant <05650> will henceforth offer <06213> (8799) neither burnt offering <05930> nor sacrifice <02077> unto other <0312> gods <0430>_, but unto the LORD <03068>_.
18In this thing <01697> the LORD <03068> pardon <05545> (8799) thy servant <05650>_, [that] when my master <0113> goeth <0935> (8800) into the house <01004> of Rimmon <07417> to worship <07812> (8692) there, and he leaneth <08172> (8737) on my hand <03027>_, and I bow <07812> (8694) myself in the house <01004> of Rimmon <07417>_: when I bow down <07812> (8692) myself in the house <01004> of Rimmon <07417>_, the LORD <03068> pardon <05545> (8799) thy servant <05650> in this thing <01697>_.
19And he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Go <03212> (8798) in peace <07965>_. So he departed <03212> (8799) from him a little <03530> way <0776>_. {a little...: Heb. a little piece of ground}
20But Gehazi <01522>_, the servant <05288> of Elisha <0477> the man <0376> of God <0430>_, said <0559> (8799)_, Behold, my master <0113> hath spared <02820> (8804) Naaman <05283> this Syrian <0761>_, in not receiving <03947> (8800) at his hands <03027> that which he brought <0935> (8689)_: but, [as] the LORD <03068> liveth <02416>_, I will run <07323> (8804) after <0310> him, and take <03947> (8804) somewhat <03972> of him.
21So Gehazi <01522> followed <07291> (8799) after <0310> Naaman <05283>_. And when Naaman <05283> saw <07200> (8799) [him] running <07323> (8801) after <0310> him, he lighted down <05307> (8799) from the chariot <04818> to meet <07125> (8800) him, and said <0559> (8799)_, [Is] all well <07965>_? {Is...: Heb. Is there peace?}
22And he said <0559> (8799)_, All [is] well <07965>_. My master <0113> hath sent <07971> (8804) me, saying <0559> (8800)_, Behold, even now there be come <0935> (8804) to me from mount <02022> Ephraim <0669> two <08147> young men <05288> of the sons <01121> of the prophets <05030>_: give <05414> (8798) them, I pray thee, a talent <03603> of silver <03701>_, and two <08147> changes <02487> of garments <0899>_.
23And Naaman <05283> said <0559> (8799)_, Be content <02974> (8685)_, take <03947> (8798) two talents <03603>_. And he urged <06555> (8799) him, and bound <06696> (8799) two <08147> talents <03603> of silver <03701> in two <08147> bags <02754>_, with two <08147> changes <02487> of garments <0899>_, and laid <05414> (8799) [them] upon two <08147> of his servants <05288>_; and they bare <05375> (8799) [them] before <06440> him.
24And when he came <0935> (8799) to the tower <06076>_, he took <03947> (8799) [them] from their hand <03027>_, and bestowed <06485> (8799) [them] in the house <01004>_: and he let the men <0582> go <07971> (8762)_, and they departed <03212> (8799)_. {tower: or, secret place}
25But he went in <0935> (8802)_, and stood <05975> (8799) before his master <0113>_. And Elisha <0477> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Whence <0370> [comest thou], Gehazi <01522>_? And he said <0559> (8799)_, Thy servant <05650> went <01980> (8804) no whither <0575>_. {no whither: Heb. not hither or thither}
26And he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Went <01980> (8804) not mine heart <03820> [with thee], when the man <0376> turned <02015> (8804) again from his chariot <04818> to meet <07125> (8800) thee? [Is it] a time <06256> to receive <03947> (8800) money <03701>_, and to receive <03947> (8800) garments <0899>_, and oliveyards <02132>_, and vineyards <03754>_, and sheep <06629>_, and oxen <01241>_, and menservants <05650>_, and maidservants <08198>_?
27The leprosy <06883> therefore of Naaman <05283> shall cleave <01692> (8799) unto thee, and unto thy seed <02233> for ever <05769>_. And he went out <03318> (8799) from his presence <06440> a leper <06879> (8794) [as white] as snow <07950>_.
