2 Kings 5:15-18

15Then he returned to the man of God 1with all his company, and came and stood before him. And he said, “Behold now, 2I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; so please 3accept a 4gift from your servant now.”

16But he said, “5As surely as the Lord lives, before whom I stand, 6I will accept nothing.” And he urged him to accept it, but he refused.

17Then Naaman said, “If not, please let your servant be given two mules’ load of 7earth; for your servant will no longer offer a burnt offering nor a sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord.

18Regarding this matter may the Lord forgive your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and 8he leans on my hand and I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may the Lord please forgive your servant in this matter.”
