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?

12:005:027 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and
           unto thy seed for ever.  And he went out from his presence a
           leper as white as snow.

12:006:001 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the
           place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
