¹² And he said to ^(A)Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.

⁴ Now the king was talking with ^(A)Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.” ⁵ And while he was telling the king how ^(B)Elisha had restored the dead to life, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life appealed to the king for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, here is the woman, and here is her son whom Elisha restored to life.”

^20 (A)Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “See, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not accepting from his hand what he brought. ^(B)As the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.” ²¹ So Gehazi followed Naaman. And when Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and said, ^(C)“Is all well?” ²² And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me to say, ‘There have just now come to me from ^(D)the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and ^(E)two changes of clothing.’” ²³ And Naaman said, ^(F)“Be pleased to accept two talents.” And he urged him and tied up 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 Gehazi. ²⁴ And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed. ²⁵ 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 But he said to him, “Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? ²⁷ Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence ^(G)a leper, like snow.

²⁹ He said to Gehazi, ^(A)“Tie up your garment and ^(B)take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, ^(C)do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And ^(D)lay my staff on the face of the child.” ³⁰ Then the mother of the child said, ^(E)“As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he arose and followed her. ³¹ Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or sign of life. Therefore he returned to meet him and told him, “The child ^(F)has not awakened.”

⁵ When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God ^(A)in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had ^(B)John to ^(C)assist them.
