2 Kings 5:1-14

5:1

Now 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}

5:2

And 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}

5:3

And 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}

5:4

And [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>_.

5:5

And 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}

5:6

And 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>_.

5:7

And 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.

5:8

And 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>_.

5:9

So 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>_.

5:10

And 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)_.

5:11

But 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}

5:12

[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}

5:13

And 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)_?

5:14

Then 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)_.
