2 Kings 5:20-27

2 Kings 5:20-27

[20] But Gehazi,  the servant  of Elisha  the man  of God,  said,  Behold, my master  hath spared  Naaman  this Syrian,  in not receiving  at his hands  that which he brought:  but, as the LORD  liveth,  I will run  after  him, and take  somewhat  [21] So Gehazi  followed  after  Naaman.  saw  him running  after  him, he lighted down  from the chariot  to meet  him, and said,  Is all well?  [22] And he said,  All is well.  My master  hath sent  me, saying,  Behold, even now there be come  to me from mount  Ephraim  two  young men  of the sons  of the prophets:  give  them, I pray thee, a talent  of silver,  and two  changes  of garments.  [23] And Naaman  said,  Be content,  take  two talents.  And he urged  two  talents  of silver  in two  bags,  with two  changes  of garments,  and laid  them upon two  of his servants;  and they bare  them before  him. [24] And when he came  to the tower,  he took  them from their hand,  and bestowed  them in the house:  and he let the men  go,  [25] But he went in,  and stood  before his master.  And Elisha  said  comest thou, Gehazi?  And he said,  Thy servant  went  no whither.  [26] And he said  unto him, Went  not mine heart  with thee, when the man  turned  again from his chariot  to meet  thee? Is it a time  to receive  money,  and to receive  garments,  and oliveyards,  and vineyards,  and sheep,  and oxen,  and menservants,  and maidservants?  [27] The leprosy  therefore of Naaman  shall cleave  unto thee, and unto thy seed  for ever.  And he went out  from his presence  a leper  as white as snow.
