2 Kings 5:20–27

²⁰And Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of God, saith, ‘Lo, my lord hath spared Naaman this Aramaean, not to receive from his hand that which he brought; Jehovah liveth; surely if I have run after him, then I have taken from him something.’ ²¹And Gehazi pursueth after Naaman, and Naaman seeth one running after him, and alighteth from off the chariot to meet him, and saith, ‘Is there peace?’ ²²And he saith, ‘Peace; my lord hath sent me, saying, Lo, now, this, come unto me have two young men from the hill-country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets; give, I pray thee, to them, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.’ ²³And Naaman saith, ‘Be pleased, take two talents;’ and he urgeth on him, and bindeth two talents of silver in two purses, and two changes of garments, and giveth unto two of his young men, and they bear before him; ²⁴and he cometh in unto the high place, and taketh out of their hand, and layeth up in the house, and sendeth away the men, and they go. ²⁵And he hath come in, and doth stand by his lord, and Elisha saith unto him, ‘Whence—Gehazi?’ and he saith, ‘Thy servant went not hither or thither.’ ²⁶And he saith unto him, ‘My heart went not when the man turned from off his chariot to meet thee; is it a time to take silver, and to take garments, and olives, and vines, and flock, and herd, and men-servants, and maid-servants? ²⁷yea, the leprosy of Naaman doth cleave to thee, and to thy seed,—to the age;’ and he goeth out from before him—leprous as snow.
