Kings IV 5:1 In-Context

1 Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, a leper.
2 And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman's wife.
3 And she said to her mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.
4 And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.
5 And the king of Syria said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
