2 Kings 5:14-17

14So Naaman went downH3381 and dipped himselfH2881 in the JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, according to the wordH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430, and his fleshH1320 was restoredH7725 and became likeH1320 that of a littleH6996 childH5288, and he was cleanH2891.

15Then NaamanH1931 and allH3605 his attendantsH4264H935 went backH7725 toH413 the manH376 of GodH430, stoodH5975 before himH6440, and declaredH559, “NowH4994 I knowH3045 for sureH2009 thatH3588 there is noH369 GodH430 in allH3605 the earthH776 exceptH3588H518 in IsraelH3478. SoH6258 pleaseH4994 acceptH3947 a giftH1293 fromH854 your servantH5650.”

16But Elisha repliedH559, “As surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416, before whomH6440 I standH5975, I will notH518 accept itH3947.” And although Naaman urgedH6484 him to accept itH3947, he refusedH3985.

17“If you will notH3808,” saidH559 NaamanH5283, “pleaseH4994 let me, your servantH5650, be givenH5414 as much soilH127 as a pairH6776 of mulesH6505 can carryH4853. ForH3588 your servantH5650 will neverH3808 againH5750 makeH6213 a burnt offeringH5930 or a sacrificeH2077 to any otherH312 godH430 butH518 the LORDH3068.
