31 And Gehazi paffed on before them, and laid the ftaff upon the face of the child, but there was neither voice, nor hearing: wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, faying, The child is not awaked. 32 And when Elifha was come into the house, behold the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

phet in Ifrael.

9 So Naaman came with his horses, and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

10 And Elisha fent a meffenger unto him, faying, Go and wash in Jordan feven times, and thy flefh fhall come again unto thee, and thou fhalt be clean.

II But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and faid, Behold, I thought, He will furely come out to me, and ftand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and ftrike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar rivers of Damafcus, better than all the waters of Ifrael? may I not wafh in them and be clean? So he turned, and went away in a rage.

13 And his fervants came near, and fpake unto him, and faid, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do fome great thing, wouldeft thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he faith to thee, Wash and be clean? |

14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the faying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of

15 ¶ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and ftood before him: and he faid, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Ifrael: now therefore, I pray thee, take a bleffing of thy fervant. 916 But he faid, As the Lord liveth, before whom I ftand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

171 And Naaman faid, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy fervant two mules burden of earth? for thy fervant will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering, nor facrifice unto other gods, but unto the Lord.

18 In this thing the Lord pardon thy fervant, that when my mafter goeth into the houfe of Rimmon to worfhip there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow my felf in the houfe of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the houfe of Rimmon, the Lord pardon thy fervant in this thing.

19 And he faid unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little

21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman: and when Naaman faw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and faid, Is all well?

22 And he faid, All is well my mafter hath fent me, faying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the fons of the prophets give them, I pray thee, a talent of filver,
