an."

But Naaman went away in a rage, saying, "I expected that he would surely
come out to me and stand and call on the name of Jehovah his God and
wave his hand over the place, and so cure the leper. Are not Amana and
Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?
Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a
rage. But his servants came near and said to him, "If the prophet had
told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? Why not,
then, when he says to you, 'Wash and be clean!'" So he went down and
dipped himself seven times in the Jordan as the man of God commanded;
and his flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was
cured of his leprosy.

Then Naaman, with all his followers, returned to the man of God. When he

he stepped down from the chariot to meet him and said, "Is all well?"
Gehazi replied, "All is well. My master has sent me to say, 'Just now
two young men of the followers of the prophets have come to me from the
highland of Ephraim. Give them a hundred pounds of silver and two suits
of fine clothes.'" Naaman said, "Agree to take twice as much silver." So
he urged him and bound up two hundred pounds of silver in two bags, with
two suits of fine clothes, and laid them on two of his servants, and
they carried them before Gehazi. But when he came to the hill, he took
them from their hand and hid them in the house and let the men go.

Then he went in to Elisha; but when he stood before his master, Elisha
said to him, "Where do you come fr
