2 Kings 5 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
20 And Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, that he took not of him the things which he brought: Our Lord liveth, I will run after him, and will take some thing of him.
21 And Giezi followed at the back of Naaman: whom when he saw running toward him, he lept down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Are all things well?
22 And he said: Well. My master hath sent me to thee, saying: Even now there are come to me two young men from mount Ephraim, of the children of the Prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two change of raiment.
23 And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound the two talents of silver in two bags, and the double raiment, and laid it upon two of his servants, who also carried it before him.
24 And when he was come now in the evening, he took it out of their hand, and laid it up in the house, and dismissed the men, and they departed.
25 And himself going in stood before his master. And Eliseus said: From whence comest thou Giezi? Who answered: Thy servant hath not gone any whither.
26 But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man returned out of his chariot to meet thee? Now therefore thou hast received silver, and taken raiment, to buy olivets, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and servants, and handmaids.
27 But the leprosy also of Naama shall cleave to thee, and to thy seed, for ever. And he went out from him a leper as it were snow.
