1. Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man in his master’s sight and highly esteemed, because through him Adonai had given victory to Aram. Though the man was a mighty man of valor, he had tza'arat.
2. Aram had gone out in bands, and had taken captive a young girl from the land of Israel. So she served Naaman’s wife.
3. Then she said to her mistress, “If only my lord went before the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his tza'arat.”
4. So Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus spoke the girl who is from the land of Israel.”
5. The king of Aram said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, 6,000 pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothes.
