NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

2 Kings 5

Naaman Is Healed

1

Now  aNaamanh5283, captainh8269 of the armyh6635 of the kingh4428 of Aramh758, was a greath1419 manh376  1with his masterh113, and highly respectedh5375h6440, becauseh3588 by him the LORDh3068 had givenh5414 victoryh8668 to Aramh758. The manh376 was also a valianth2428 warriorh1368, but he was a leperh6879.

2

Now the Arameansh758 had goneh3318 out  ain bandsh1416 and had takenh7617 captiveh7628b a littleh6996a girlh5291 from the landh776 of Israelh3478; and she  1waitedh1961 on Naaman'sh5283 wifeh802.

3

She saidh559 to her mistressh1404, "I wishh305 that my masterh113 were  1with the propheth5030 whoh834 is in Samariah8111! Thenh227 he would cureh622 him of his leprosyh6883."

4

 1Naaman wenth935 in and toldh5046 his masterh113, sayingh559, "Thush2088 and thush2088 spokeh1696 the girlh5291 whoh834 is from the landh776 of Israelh3478."

5

Then the kingh4428 of Aramh758 saidh559, "Goh1980  1nowh935, and I will sendh7971 a letterh5612 to the kingh4428 of Israelh3478." He departedh1980 and  atookh3947 with him tenh6235 talentsh3603 of silverh3701 and sixh8337a thousandh505 shekels of goldh2091 and tenh6235  bchangesh2487 of clothesh899b.

6

He broughth935 the letterh5612 to the kingh4428 of Israelh3478, sayingh559, "And nowh6258 as thish2088 letterh5612 comesh935 to you, beholdh2009, I have senth7971 Naamanh5283 my servanth5650 to you, that you may cureh622 him of his leprosyh6883."

7

When the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 readh7121 the letterh5612,  ahe toreh7167 his clothesh899b and saidh559, " bAm I Godh430, to killh4191 and to makeh2421a aliveh2421a, that thish2088 man is sendingh7971 word to me to cureh622 a manh376 of his leprosyh6883? But  cconsiderh3045 nowh4994, and seeh7200 howh3588 he is seekingh579  1a quarrelh579 against me."

8

It happenedh1961 when Elishah477  athe manh376 of Godh430 heardh8085 that the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 had tornh7167 his clothesh899b, that he senth7971 word to the kingh4428, sayingh559, "Whyh4100 have you tornh7167 your clothesh899b? Nowh4994 let him comeh935 to me, and he shall knowh3045 that thereh3426 is a propheth5030 in Israelh3478."

9

So Naamanh5283 cameh935 with his horsesh5483b and his chariotsh7393 and stoodh5975 at the doorwayh6607 of the househ1004 of Elishah477.

10

Elishah477 senth7971 a messengerh4397 to him, sayingh559, " aGoh1980 and washh7364 in the Jordanh3383 sevenh7651 timesh6471, and your fleshh1320 will be restoredh7725 to you and you will be cleanh2891."

11

But Naamanh5283 was furioush7107 and wenth1980 away and saidh559, "Beholdh2009, I  1thoughth559, `He will surelyh3318 comeh3318 out to me and standh5975 and callh7121 on the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 his Godh430, and waveh5130 his handh3027 overh413 the placeh4725 and cureh622 the leperh6879.'

12

"Are not  1Abanahh71 and Pharparh6554, the riversh5104 of Damascush1834, betterh2896a thanh4480 allh3605 the watersh4325 of Israelh3478? Could I not washh7364 in them and be cleanh2891?" So he turnedh6437 and  awenth1980 away in a rageh2534.

13

 aThen his servantsh5650 cameh5066 nearh5066 and spokeh1696 to him and saidh559, " bMy fatherh1, had the propheth5030 toldh1696 you to do some greath1419 thingh1697, would you not have doneh6213a it? Howh637 muchh637h3588 moreh637h3588 then, whenh3588 he saysh559 to you, `Washh7364, and be cleanh2891'?"

14

So he wenth3381 downh3381 and dippedh2881 himself sevenh7651 timesh6471 in the Jordanh3383, according to the wordh1697 of the manh376 of Godh430; and  ahis fleshh1320 was restoredh7725 like the fleshh1320 of a littleh6996b childh5288 and  bhe was cleanh2891.

Gehazi's Greed

15

When he returnedh7725 to the manh376 of Godh430  1with allh3605 his companyh4264, and cameh935 and stoodh5975 beforeh6440 him, he saidh559, "Beholdh2009 nowh4994,  aI knowh3045 that thereh369 is noh369 Godh430 in allh3605 the earthh776, but in Israelh3478; so pleaseh4994  btakeh3947 a  2presenth1293 from your servanth5650 nowh6258."

16

But he saidh559, " aAs the LORDh3068 livesh2416a, beforeh6440 whomh834 I standh5975,  bI will takeh3947 nothingh518." And he urgedh6484 him to takeh3947 it, but he refusedh3985.

17

Naamanh5283 saidh559, "If not, pleaseh4994 let your servanth5650 at least be givenh5414 twoh6776 mules'h6505 loadh4853a of  aearthh127; for your servanth5650 will noh3808 longerh5750 offerh6213a burnth5930a offeringh5930a norh3808 will he sacrificeh2077 to otherh312 godsh430, but to the LORDh3068.

18

"In thish2088 matterh1697 may the LORDh3068 pardonh5545 your servanth5650: when my masterh113 goesh935 into the househ1004 of Rimmonh7417a to worshiph7812 thereh8033, and  ahe leansh8172 on my handh3027 and I bowh7812 myself in the househ1004 of Rimmonh7417a, when I bowh7812 myself in the househ1004 of Rimmonh7417a, the LORDh3068 pardonh5545 your servanth5650 in thish2088 matterh1697."

19

He saidh559 to him, " aGoh1980 in peaceh7965." So he departedh1980 from him someh3530 distanceh3530h776.

20

But  aGehazih1522, the servanth5288 of Elishah477 the manh376 of Godh430,  1thoughth559, "Beholdh2009, my masterh113 has sparedh2820 thish2088 Naamanh5283 the Arameanh761,  2by not receivingh3947 from his handsh3027 whath834 he broughth935.  bAs the LORDh3068 livesh2416a, I will runh7323 afterh310 him and takeh3947 somethingh3972 from him."

21

So Gehazih1522 pursuedh7291 Naamanh5283. When Naamanh5283 sawh7200 one runningh7323 afterh310 him, he cameh5307 downh5307 from the charioth4818 to meeth7122 him and saidh559, "Is all wellh7965?"

22

He saidh559, " aAll is wellh7965. My masterh113 has senth7971 me, sayingh559, `Beholdh2009, justh2088 nowh6258 twoh8147 youngh5288 menh5288 of the sonsh1121 of the prophetsh5030 have comeh935 to me from  bthe hillh2022 countryh2022 of Ephraimh669. Pleaseh4994 giveh5414 them a talenth3603 of silverh3701 and  ctwoh8147 changesh2487 of clothesh899b.' "

23

Naamanh5283 saidh559, " aBe pleasedh2974 to takeh3947 two talentsh3603." And he urgedh6555 him, and boundh6696a two talentsh3603 of silverh3701 in twoh8147 bagsh2754 with twoh8147 changesh2487 of clothesh899b and gaveh5414 them to twoh8147 of his servantsh5288; and they carriedh5375 them beforeh6440 him.

24

When he cameh935 to the  1hillh6076a, he tookh3947 them from their handh3027 and  adepositedh6485 them in the househ1004, and he senth7971 the menh376 awayh7971, and they departedh1980.

25

But he wenth935 in and stoodh5975 beforeh413 his masterh113. And Elishah477 saidh559 to him, "Whereh575 have you been, Gehazih1522?" And he saidh559, " aYour servanth5650 wenth1980 nowhereh3808h575."

26

Then he saidh559 to him, "Did not my hearth3820 goh1980 with you, whenh3512c the manh376 turnedh2015 from his charioth4818 to meeth7122 you?  aIs it a timeh6256 to receiveh3947 moneyh3701 and to receiveh3947 clothesh899b and oliveh2132 grovesh2132 and vineyardsh3754 and sheeph6629 and oxenh1241 and maleh5650 and femaleh8198 servantsh5650h8198?

27

"Therefore, the leprosyh6883 of Naamanh5283 shall clingh1692 to you and to your  1descendantsh2233 foreverh5769." So he wenth3318 out from his presenceh6440  aa leperh6879 as white as snowh7950.
