¹⁹ And he said unto him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a little way.

²⁰ 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 something from him.”

²¹ So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he alighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is all well?”

²² And he said, “All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now there have 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.’”

²³ 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 bore them before him.

²⁴ And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand and stowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.

²⁵ But he went in and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, “From whence comest thou, Gehazi?” And he said, “Thy servant went nowhere.”

²⁶ And he said unto him, “Went not mine heart with thee when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money and to receive garments, and olive yards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and menservants and maidservants?

²⁷ 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.
