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 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
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
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
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.
CHAPTER KINGS 6
And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is
too strait for us.
2
Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let
us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3
And one said, Be content,
I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4
So he went with them. And
when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell
into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6
And the man of God
said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast
it
in thither;
and the iron did swim.
7
Therefore said he, Take
it
up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took
it.
8
Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In
such and such a place
shall be
my camp.
9
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying,
Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
10
And the king of
Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there,
not once nor twice.
11
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and
he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us
is
for the king of Israel?
12
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that
is
in Israel,
telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
13
And he said, Go and spy where he
is,
that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him,
saying, Behold,
he is
in Dothan.
14
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host:
and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15
And when the servant of the man of God
was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots.
