2 Kings 5:16-23 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

16. But he said, As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

17. Then Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy slave two mules’ burden of earth? For from now one thy slave will offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the Lord.

18. In this thing may the Lord pardon thy slave, that when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, if I also bow myself in the house of Rimmon, that the Lord pardon thy slave in this thing, if I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon.

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 has spared Naaman, this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As the Lord lives, 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 lighted down from the chariot to meet him and said, Is there no peace?

22. And he said, Peace. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets came to me from Mount Ephraim; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver and two changes of garments.

23. And Naaman said, If you wish 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.
