. The pictorial history of Palestine and the Holy land including a complete history of the Jews. * The presents included ten talents of silver (3/50/.), GOOO shekels of gold (12000/.), and ten dresses of honour. Chap. VI] ISRAEL, FROM 931 bc, to 895 575. :--^<^-::;^ tm^^- [Great Officer on a Journey.] alive, that this man sendeth to me to recover a man of his leprosy. Consider, I pray you, andsee how he seeketh an occasion of quarrelling with me. Intelligence of this affair, and ofthe kings vexation, was hrought to Elisha, who desired that the Syrian stranger might be sentto him. Accordingly Naaman came with his chariot and horses and imposing retinue, andstood before the door of Elishas house. The prophet did not make his appearance ; but sentout a message directing him to go and bathe seven times in the river Jordan. The self-esteem ofthe distinguished leper was much hurt at this treatment. He expected that Elisha would havepaid him personal attention and respect, and would have healed him by an appeal to his God,Jehovah, and by the stroking of his hand. He therefore turned and went away in a rage,exclaiming, Are not Aloana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters ofIsrael? May I not wash in them and be clean?
