2 Kings 5:11-17

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ But Naaman was furious and went away, and he said, “Behold, I ^[a]thought, ‘He will certainly come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the site and cure the ^[b]leprosy.’ ¹² Are ^[c]Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, not better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and ^(A)went away in a rage. ^13 (B)Then his servants approached and spoke to him, ^[d]saying, “^(C)My father, had the prophet told 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 in the Jordan seven times, in accordance with the word of the man of God; and ^(D)his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and ^(E)he was clean.

¹⁵ Then he returned to the man of God ^[e]with all his company, and came and stood before him. And he said, “Behold now, ^(F)I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; so please ^(G)accept a ^[f]gift from your servant now.” ¹⁶ But he said, “^(H)As surely as the Lord lives, before whom I stand, ^(I)I will accept nothing.” And he urged him to accept it, but he refused. ¹⁷ Then Naaman said, “If not, please let your servant be given two mules’ load of ^(J)earth; for your servant will no longer offer a burnt offering nor a sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord.
