2 Raja-raja 5:15-17

5:15 He and his entire entourage returned to the prophet. Naaman ¹  came and stood before him. He said, “For sure ²  I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel! Now, please accept a gift from your servant.” 5:16 But Elisha ³  replied, “As certainly as the Lord lives (whom I serve), ⁴  I will take nothing from you.” Naaman ⁵  insisted that he take it, but he refused. 5:17 Naaman said, “If not, then please give your servant a load of dirt, enough for a pair of mules to carry, ⁶  for your servant will never again offer a burnt offering or sacrifice to a god other than the Lord. ⁷
