2 Kings 5:9-14

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ So Naaman came with his horses and his chariots and stood at the doorway of the house of Elisha. ¹⁰ And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “^(A)Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored to you and you will be clean.” ¹¹ But Naaman was furious and went away and said, “Behold, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.’ ¹² Are not ^[a]Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and ^(B)went away in wrath. ^13 (C)Then his servants approached and spoke to him and said, “^(D)My father, had the prophet spoken with you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” ¹⁴ So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and ^(E)his flesh was restored like the flesh of a young boy and ^(F)he was clean.
