12:005:003 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with
           the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of
           his leprosy.

12:005:004 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said
           the maid that is of the land of Israel.

12:005:005 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a
           letter unto the king of Israel.  And he departed, and took with
           him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold,
           and ten changes of raiment.

12:005:006 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now
           when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith
           sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him
           of his leprosy.

12:005:007 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the
           letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill
           and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover
           a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see
           how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

12:005:008 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.

12:005:009 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood
           at the door of the house of Elisha.

12:005:010 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.

12:005:011 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.

12:005:012 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.

12:005:013 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?

12:005:014 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.

12:005:015 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and
           came, and stood before him:  and he said, Behold, now I know
           that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel:  now
           therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
