2 Kings 5:22-25

22“Everything is all rightH7965,” Gehazi repliedH559. “My masterH113 has sent meH7971 to sayH559, ‘LookH2009, twoH8147 young menH5288 from the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 have just nowH6258H2088 comeH935 to meH413 from the hill countryH2022 of EphraimH669. PleaseH4994 giveH5414 them a talentH3603 of silverH37011 and twoH8147 setsH2487 of clothingH899.’”

23But NaamanH5283 insistedH559, “PleaseH2974, takeH3947 two talentsH3603.” And he urgedH6555 Gehazi to accept them. Then he tied upH6696 two talentsH3603 of silverH3701 in twoH8147 bagsH2754 along with twoH8147 setsH2487 of clothingH899 and gave themH5414 toH413 twoH8147 of his servantsH5288, who carried themH5375 ahead of GehaziH6440.

24When Gehazi cameH935 toH413 the hillH6076, he tookH3947 the gifts fromH3027 the servants and stored themH6485 in the houseH1004. Then he dismissedH7971 the menH582, and they departedH1980.

25When GehaziH1931 went inH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH413 his masterH113, ElishaH477 askedH559 himH413, “GehaziH1522, whereH575 have you been?”

“Your servantH5650 did notH3808 goH1980 anywhereH575,” he repliedH559.
