## 2 Kings 5:15-27 in Context (Verses 12–27 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/12) *Are* not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/13) And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, *if* the prophet had bid thee *do some* great thing, wouldest thou not have done *it*? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/14) Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/15) ¶ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that *there is* no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/16) But he said, *As* the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take *it;* but he refused.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/17) And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/18) In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, *that* when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/19) And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/20) ¶ 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 of him.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/21) So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw *him* running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, *Is* all well?*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/22) 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 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/23) And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound 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 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/24) 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, and they departed.*
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/25) But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence *comest thou*, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.*
 
 [26 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/26) 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 ](/kjv/2-kings/5/27) 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.
