4 Kings Chapter 5

Naaman the Syrian is cleansed of his leprosy. He professeth his belief
in one God, promising to serve him. Giezi taketh gifts of Naaman, and is
struck with leprosy.

5:1. Naaman, general of the army, of the king of Syria, was a great man
with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to
Syria: and he was a valiant man, and rich, but a leper.

5:2. Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive
out of the land of Israel, a little maid, and she waited upon Naaman's
wife.

5:3. And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the

5:12. Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better
