2 Kings 5:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ But Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord lives whom I serve, I won’t accept anything.” Naaman urged him to take the gift, but he refused.

¹⁷ Then Naaman said, “If you won’t take the gift, then please give me some soil—as much as two of my mules can carry. From now on I’ll not offer any burnt offering or sacrifice to any other gods but the Lord. ¹⁸ But let the Lord pardon me for this: When my master goes into the temple of Rimmon^[a] to worship, he leans on my arm. Then I must bow in that temple. May the Lord pardon me when I do that.”
