¹⁹ And he said to him, “^(A)Go in peace.” So he went from him some distance.

²⁰ Then ^(B)Gehazi, the young man of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, ^[a]by not receiving from his hands what he brought. ^(C)As Yahweh lives, I will run after him and take something from him.” ²¹ So Gehazi pursued Naaman. And Naaman saw one running after him, so he came down from the chariot to meet him and said, “Is all at peace?” ²² And he said, “^(D)All is at peace. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from ^(E)the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and ^(F)two changes of clothes.’” ²³ Then Naaman said, “^(G)Be pleased to take two talents.” And he urged him and bound two talents of silver in two bags with two changes of clothes and gave them to two of his young men; and they carried them before him. ²⁴ So he came to the ^[b]hill, and he took them from their hand and ^(H)deposited them in the house. Then he sent the men away, and they departed. ²⁵ But he came in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “^(I)Your servant went nowhere.”

²⁶ Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? ^(J)Is it a time to receive money and to receive clothes and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and male and female slaves? ²⁷ Thus the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your seed forever.” So he went out from his presence ^(K)a leper as white as snow.
