2 Kings 5:19
Compare all
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.

Gehazi’s Greed

20 But aGehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as the Lord lives, I will run after him and take something from him.”  
21 So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is all well?”

2 Kings 5:19

And he said unto him - There is a most singular and important reading in one of De Rossi' s MSS., which he numbers 191. It has in the margin that is, "read lo , not, instead of lo , to him." Now this reading supposes that Naaman did ask permission from the prophet to worship in Rimmon' s temple; to which the prophet answers, No; go in peace: that is, maintain thy holy resolutions, be a consistent worshipper of the true God, and avoid all idolatrous practices. Another MS., No. 383, appears first to have written to him, but to have corrected it immediately by inserting an aleph after the vau ; and thus, instead of making it no, it has made it lu , which is no word.
