2 Kings 5:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ He returned to Elisha with all his men and said, “Now I know that there is no god but the God of Israel; so please, sir, accept a gift from me.”

¹⁶ Elisha answered, “By the living Lord, whom I serve, I swear that I will not accept a gift.”

Naaman insisted that he accept it, but he would not. ¹⁷ So Naaman said, “If you won't accept my gift, then let me have two mule-loads of earth to take home with me,^[a] because from now on I will not offer sacrifices or burnt offerings to any god except the Lord.
