Chapter 5 Now Naaman, captain of the host
of the king of Syria, was a great man with

00:07.280 --> 00:11.600
his master and honorable, because by him
the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria.

00:12.280 --> 00:17.040
He was also a mighty man in valor,
but he was a leper, and the Syrians had

00:17.040 --> 00:21.620
gone out by companies and had brought away
captive out of the land of Israel a little

00:21.620 --> 00:22.000
maid.

00:22.420 --> 00:25.800
And she waited on Naaman's wife,
and she said unto her mistress,

00:26.060 --> 00:30.240
Would God my Lord were with the prophet
that is in Samaria, for he would recover

00:30.240 --> 00:31.280
him of his leprosy.

00:31.440 --> 00:35.920
And one went in and told his lord,
saying, Thus and thus said the maid that

00:35.920 --> 00:37.140
is of the land of Israel.

00:37.520 --> 00:42.580
And the king of Syria said, Go to,
go, and I will send a letter unto the king

00:42.580 --> 00:43.320
of Israel.

00:43.800 --> 00:48.280
And he departed, and took with him ten
talents of silver, and six thousand pieces

00:48.280 --> 00:50.380
of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

00:50.760 --> 00:54.900
And he brought the letter to the king of
Israel, saying, Now when this letter is

00:54.900 --> 00:59.640
come unto thee, behold, I have therewith
sent Naaman my servant to thee,

00:59.940 --> 01:01.940
that thou mayest recover him of his
leprosy.

01:02.420 --> 01:06.400
And it came to pass, when the king of
Israel had read the letter, that he rent

01:06.400 --> 01:11.620
his clothes, and said, Am I God,
to kill and to make alive, that this man

01:11.620 --> 01:15.220
doth send unto me to recover a man of his
leprosy?

01:15.900 --> 01:20.480
Wherefore consider, I pray you,
and see how he seeketh a quarrel against

01:20.480 --> 01:20.780
me.

01:21.160 --> 01:25.900
And it was so, when Elisha the man of God
had heard that the king of Israel had rent

01:25.900 --> 01:30.600
his clothes, that he sent to the king,
saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy

01:30.600 --> 01:31.140
clothes?

01:31.600 --> 01:35.800
Let him come now to me, and he shall know
that there is a prophet in Israel.

01:36.160 --> 01:40.280
So Naaman came with his horses and with
his chariot, and stood at the door of the

01:40.280 --> 01:41.360
house of Elisha.

01:41.380 --> 01:45.400
And Elisha sent a messenger unto him,
saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times,

01:45.800 --> 01:49.700
and thy flesh shall come again to thee,
and thou shalt be clean.

01:50.120 --> 01:54.660
But Naaman was wrath, and went away,
and said, Behold, I thought, he will

01:54.660 --> 01:58.920
surely come out to me, and stand and call
on the name of the Lord his God,

01:59.040 --> 02:02.380
and strike his hand over the place,
and recover the leper.

02:03.080 --> 02:07.880
Are not Abana and Farpar rivers of
Damascus better than all the waters of

02:07.880 --> 02:08.260
Israel?

02:08.860 --> 02:11.140
May I not wash in them and be clean?

02:11.380 --> 02:13.660
So he turned and went away in a rage.

02:14.560 --> 02:18.180
And his servants came near and spake unto
him, and said, My father, if the prophet

02:18.180 --> 02:21.940
had bid thee do some great thing,
wouldst thou not have done it?

02:21.940 --> 02:26.620
How much rather, then, when he saith to
thee, Wash, and be clean.

02:26.960 --> 02:31.400
Then went he down, and dipped himself
seven times in Jordan, according to the

02:31.400 --> 02:32.680
saying of the man of God.

02:33.140 --> 02:36.160
And his flesh came again, like unto the
flesh of a little child.

02:36.600 --> 02:37.700
And he was clean.

02:38.260 --> 02:42.880
And he returned to the man of God,
he and all his company, and came and stood

02:42.880 --> 02:43.440
before him.

02:43.620 --> 02:50.320
And he said, Behold, now I know that there
is no God in all the earth but in Israel.

02:50.320 --> 02:54.540
Now, therefore, I pray thee, take a
blessing of thy servant.

02:54.860 --> 02:59.680
But he said, As the Lord liveth before
whom I stand, I will receive none.

02:59.900 --> 03:02.500
And he urged him to take it, but he
refused.

03:02.960 --> 03:06.840
And Naaman said, Shall there not,
then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant

03:06.840 --> 03:08.480
two mules' burden of earth?

03:08.720 --> 03:13.120
For thy servant will henceforth offer
neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto

03:13.120 --> 03:15.860
other gods, but unto the Lord.

03:16.420 --> 03:20.720
In this thing the Lord pardoned thy
servant, that when my master goeth into

03:20.720 --> 03:24.980
the house of Rimeh to worship there,
and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow

03:24.980 --> 03:29.360
myself in the house of Rimeh, when I bow
down myself in the house of Rimeh,

03:29.640 --> 03:32.200
the Lord pardoned thy servant in this
thing.

03:32.580 --> 03:34.380
And he said unto him, Go in peace.

03:34.800 --> 03:36.740
So he departed from him a little way.

03:37.720 --> 03:42.920
But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha,
the man of God, said, Behold, my master

03:42.920 --> 03:46.880
hath spared Naaman this Syrian,
in not receiving at his hands that which

03:46.880 --> 03:47.320
he brought.

03:48.020 --> 03:52.500
But as the Lord liveth, I will run after
him, and take somewhat of him.

03:52.960 --> 03:54.740
So Gehazi followed after Naaman.

03:55.260 --> 03:59.380
And when Naaman saw him running after him,
he lighted down from the chariot to meet

03:59.380 --> 04:00.740
him, and said, Is all well?

04:01.000 --> 04:02.340
And he said, All is well.

04:02.960 --> 04:07.320
My master hath sent me, saying,
Behold, even now there be come to me from

04:07.320 --> 04:10.140
Mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of
the prophets.

04:10.700 --> 04:14.540
Give them, I pray thee, a talent of
silver, and two changes of garments.

04:15.040 --> 04:17.980
And Naaman said, Be content, take two
talents.

04:18.260 --> 04:23.240
And he urged him, and bound two talents of
silver in two bags, with two changes of

04:23.240 --> 04:27.740
garments, and laid them upon two of his
servants, and they bare them before him.

04:28.480 --> 04:32.100
And when he came to the tower,
he took them from their hand, and bestowed

04:32.100 --> 04:32.840
them in the house.

04:32.840 --> 04:35.040
And he let the men go, and they departed.

04:35.700 --> 04:38.040
But he went in, and stood before his
master.

04:38.720 --> 04:41.480
And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest
thou, Gehazi?

04:41.780 --> 04:43.760
And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

04:44.040 --> 04:48.740
And he said unto him, Went not mine heart
with thee, when the man turned again from

04:48.740 --> 04:49.860
his chariot to meet thee?

04:50.580 --> 04:55.660
Is it at time to receive money,
and to receive garments, and oliveyards,

04:55.920 --> 05:00.760
and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen,
and men-servants, and maid-servants?

05:00.760 --> 05:07.860
The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall
cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for

05:07.860 --> 05:08.340
ever.

05:08.840 --> 05:12.220
And he went out from his presence a leper,
as white as snow.
