2 Kings 5:16-18
Christian Standard Bible
16 But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives,(A) in whose presence I stand, I will not accept it.”(B) Naaman urged him to accept it, but he refused.
17 Naaman responded, “If not, please let your servant be given as much soil as a pair of mules can carry,(C) for your servant will no longer offer a burnt offering or a sacrifice to any other god but the Lord.(D) 18 However, in a particular matter may the Lord pardon your servant: When my master, the king of Aram, goes into the temple of Rimmon to bow in worship while he is leaning on my arm,[a](E) and I have to bow in the temple of Rimmon—when I bow[b] in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord pardon your servant in this matter.”
