NASB
2 Kings 5:1

Naaman went in and told his master, saying, "Thus and thus spoke the girl who is from the land of Israel."
2 Kings 5:5

2 Kings 5:6
&
He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, "And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy."
2 Kings 5:7
&
When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man is sending {word} to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But consider now, and see how he is seeking a quarrel against me."
2 Kings 5:8

Then his servants came near and spoke to him and said, "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'?"
2 Kings 5:14
&
So he went down and dipped {himself} seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child and he was clean.
