2 Kings 5:1-6

Christian Standard Bible

Naaman’s Disease Healed

5 Naaman,^(A) commander of the army for the king of Aram, was a man important to his master and highly regarded^(B) because through him, the Lord had given victory to Aram. The man was a valiant warrior, but he had a skin disease.^(C)

² Aram had gone on raids^(D) and brought back from the land of Israel a young girl who served Naaman’s wife. ³ She said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of his skin disease.”

⁴ So Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said. ⁵ Therefore, the king of Aram said, “Go, and I will send a letter with you to the king of Israel.”

So he went and took with him 750 pounds^[a] of silver, 150 pounds^[b] of gold, and ten sets of clothing.^{(E) 6} He brought the letter to the king of Israel, and it read:

When this letter comes to you, note that I have sent you my servant Naaman for you to cure him of his skin disease.
