So Naaman with with his horses and chariots and waited at the door of Elisha’s house. But Elisha sent a messenger to go out to him with this message: “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be restored, and you will be healed of your leprosy.”
But Naaman became angry and stalked away. “I thought he would certainly come out to meet me!” he said, “I expected him to wave his hand over the leprosy and call on the name of the Lord his God and heal me! Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than any of the rivers in Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them an be healed?” So Naaman turned and went away in a rage.
But this officers tried t reason with him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey when he says simply, ‘Go wash and be cured!'” So Naaman went dow to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. And his skin became the sking of a youn child, and he was healed!
Than Naaman and his entire party went back to find the man of God. They stood before him, and Naaman said, “Now If know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from you servant.”
But Elisha replied, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept any gifts.” And though Naaman urged him to take the gift, Elisha refused. (vv. 9-16, NLT)
