And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well? 22 And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, now there have come to me from Mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: please give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing. 23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him. 24 And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hands, and stored them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed. 25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you been, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere. 26 And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive clothing, olive groves, and vineyards, sheep, oxen, male servants, and female servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you, and to your descendants forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
