12:005:014 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan,
according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came
again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
12:005:015 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and
came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know
that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now
therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
12:005:016 But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will
receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
12:005:017 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given
to thy servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy servant
will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice
unto other gods, but unto the LORD.
12:005:018 In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master
goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he
leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon:
when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon
thy servant in this thing.
12:005:019 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a
little way.
12:005:020 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said,
Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not
receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD
liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
12:005:021 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him
running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet
him, and said, Is all well?
12:005:022 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying,
Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two
young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee,
a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
12:005:023 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 garments, and laid them upon two of his servants;
and they bare them before him.
12:005:024 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand,
and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and
they departed.
12:005:025 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said
unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant
went no whither.
12:005:026 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the
man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time
to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and
vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
maidservants?
