2 Kings 5:20–27

²⁰But ^aGehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, ¹thought, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, ²by not receiving from his hands what he brought. ^bAs the Lord lives, I will run after him and take something from him.”

²¹So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him and said, “Is all well?”

²²He said, “^aAll is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from ^bthe hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and ^ctwo changes of clothes.’ ”

²³Naaman said, “^aBe 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 servants; and they carried them before him.

²⁴When he came to the ¹hill, he took them from their hand and ^adeposited them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed.

²⁵But he went in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “^aYour servant went nowhere.”

²⁶Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? ^aIs it a time to receive money and to receive clothes and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and male and female servants?

²⁷“Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your ¹descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence ^aa leper as white as snow.
