And he urged{H6484} him to take{H3947} it; but he refused.{H3985} 17 And Naaman{H5283} said,{H559} If not, yet, I pray thee, let there be given{H5414} to thy servant{H5650} two{H6776} mules'{H6505} burden{H4853} of earth;{H127} for thy servant{H5650} will henceforth offer{H6213} neither burnt-offering{H5930} nor sacrifice{H2077} unto other{H312} gods,{H430} but unto Jehovah.{H3068} 18 In this thing{H1697} Jehovah{H3068} pardon{H5545} thy servant:{H5650} when my master{H113} goeth{H935} into the house{H1004} of Rimmon{H7417} to worship{H7812} there, and he leaneth{H8172} on my hand,{H3027} and I bow{H7812} myself in the house{H1004} of Rimmon,{H7417} when I bow{H7812} myself in the house{H1004} of Rimmon,{H7417} Jehovah{H3068} pardon{H5545} thy servant{H5650} in this thing.{H1697} 19 And he said{H559} unto him, Go{H3212} in peace.{H7965} So he departed{H3212} from him a little{H3530} way.{H776} 20 But Gehazi{H1522} the servant{H5288} of Elisha{H477} the man{H376} of God,{H430} said,{H559} Behold, my master{H113} hath spared{H2820} this Naaman{H5283} the Syrian,{H761} in not receiving{H3947} at his hands{H3027} that which he brought:{H935} as Jehovah{H3068} liveth,{H2416} I will run{H7323} after{H310} him, and take{H3947} somewhat{H3972} of him. 21 So Gehazi{H1522} followed{H7291} after{H310} Naaman.{H5283} And when Naaman{H5283} saw{H7200} one running{H7323} after{H310} him, he alighted{H5307} from the chariot{H4818} to meet{H7125} him, and said,{H559} Is all well?{H7965} 22 And he said,{H559} All is well.{H7965} My master{H113} hath sent{H7971} me, saying,{H559} Behold, even now there are come{H935} to me from the hill-country{H2022} of Ephraim{H669} two{H8147} young men{H5288} of the sons{H1121} of the prophets;{H5030} give{H5414} them, I pray thee, a talent{H3603} of silver,{H3701} and two{H8147} changes{H2487} of raiment.{H899} 23 And Naaman{H5283} said,{H559} Be pleased{H2974} to take{H3947} two talents.{H3603} And he urged{H6555} him, and bound{H6696} two{H8147} talents{H3603} of silver{H3701} in two{H8147} bags,{H2754} with two{H8147} changes{H2487} of raiment,{H899} and laid{H5414} them upon two{H8147} of his servants;{H5288} and they bare{H5375} them before{H6440} him. 24 And when he came{H935} to the hill,{H6076} he took{H3947} them from their hand,{H3027} and bestowed{H6485} them in the house;{H1004} and he let the men{H582} go,{H7971} and they departed.{H3212} 25 But he went in,{H935} and stood{H5975} before his master.{H113} And Elisha{H477} said{H559} unto him, Whence{H370} comest thou, Gehazi?{H1522} And he said,{H559} Thy servant{H5650} went{H1980} no whither.{H575} 26 And he said{H559} unto him, Went{H1980} not my heart{H3820} [with thee], when the man{H376} turned{H2015} from his chariot{H4818} to meet{H7125} thee? Is it a time{H6256} to receive{H3947} money,{H3701} and to receive{H3947} garments,{H899} and oliveyards{H2132} and vineyards,{H3754} and sheep{H6629} and oxen,{H1241} and men-servants{H5650} and maid-servants?{H8198} 27 The leprosy{H6883} therefore of Naaman{H5283} shall cleave{H1692} unto thee, and unto thy seed{H2233} for ever.{H5769} And he went out{H3318} from his presence{H6440} a leper{H6879} [as white] as snow.{H7950}
