## 2 Kings 5:5-9 in Context (Verses 2–12 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/2) And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/3) 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.**
 
 [4 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/4) And *one* went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that *is* of the land of Israel.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/5) 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.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/6) 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.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/7) 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.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/8) ¶ 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.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/9) So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/10) 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.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/11) 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 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/12) *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.*
