2 Kings 5:21-23
International Standard Version
21 So Gehazi ran after Naaman.
When Naaman noticed someone running after him, he came down from his chariot, greeted him and asked, “Is everything all right?”[a]
22 Gehazi said, “Everything’s all right. My master sent me to tell you, ‘Just now two men from the Guild of Prophets have arrived from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them each a talent[b] of silver bullion and two sets[c] of clothes.’”
23 But Naaman said, “Please accept my invitation to take two talents[d] of silver.” He urged him, binding two talents[e] of silver in two bags, along with two sets of clothes. He placed them in the care of two of his young men, and they went on ahead of Gehazi.[f]
