2 Kings 5:15-18
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. 18Yet may the LORDH3068 forgiveH5545 your servantH5650 thisH2088 one thingH1697: When my masterH113 goes intoH935 the templeH1004 of RimmonH7417 to worshipH7812 thereH8033, and heH1931 leansH8172 onH5921 my armH3027, and I bow downH7812 in the templeH1004 of RimmonH7417, mayH4494 the LORDH3068 forgiveH5545 your servantH5650 in thisH2088 matterH1697.”
