1. Now Naaman was the commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man before his master and highly regarded, for by him Yahweh had given victory to Aram. Now the man was a mighty warrior, but he was afflicted with a skin disease.
2. When the Arameans went on a raid, they brought back a young girl from the land of Israel, and she came into the service of the wife of Naaman.
3. She said to her mistress, “If only my lord would come before the prophet who is in Samaria; then he would cure his skin disease.”
4. He came and told his master, saying, “Thus and so the girl who is from the land of Israel said.”
5. So the king of Aram said, “Go, I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He went and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
6. So he brought the letter of the king to Israel, saying, “Now, when this letter comes to you, I have just sent Naaman my servant to you that you may cure him from his skin disease.”
