15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, “Indeed, now I know that there is ano God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take ba gift from your servant.”
16 But he said, a“As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, bI will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused.
17 So Naaman said, “Then, if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord.
18 Yet in this thing may the Lord pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and ahe leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord please pardon your servant in this thing.”
19 Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a short distance.
