← 2 Kings 5:19	2 Kings 5:20 (KJV)	2 Kings 5:21 →
And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.	But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, [as] the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.	So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw [him] running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, [Is] all well?
