2 Kings 5:13-19

New American Standard Bible

^13 (A)Then his servants approached and spoke to him, ^[a]saying, “^(B)My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” ¹⁴ So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, in accordance with the word of the man of God; and ^(C)his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and ^(D)he was clean.

Gehazi’s Greed

¹⁵ Then he returned to the man of God ^[b]with all his company, and came and stood before him. And he said, “Behold now, ^(E)I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; so please ^(F)accept a ^[c]gift from your servant now.” ¹⁶ But he said, “^(G)As surely as the Lord lives, before whom I stand, ^(H)I will accept nothing.” And he urged him to accept it, but he refused. ¹⁷ Then Naaman said, “If not, please let your servant be given two mules’ load of ^(I)earth; for your servant will no longer offer a burnt offering nor a sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord. ¹⁸ Regarding this matter may the Lord forgive your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and ^(J)he leans on my hand and I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may the Lord please forgive your servant in this matter.” ¹⁹ He said to him, “^(K)Go in peace.” So he went some distance from him.
