2 Kings 5:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ But Elisha^[a] replied, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not receive anything from you.” Though Naaman^[b] urged him to take it, Elisha^[c] declined.

¹⁷ So Naaman asked, “No? Then please let your servant load two mules with dirt from Israel,^[d] because your servant will no longer offer any burnt offering or sacrifice to any other god but the Lord. ¹⁸ In this one area may the Lord pardon your servant: Whenever my master enters the temple of Rimmon to worship there, he will lean on my hand while I bow down in the temple of Rimmon. So may the Lord pardon your servant in this one area.”
