Naaman returns to the man of God, asks him to take a gift, and asks for two mules’ load of earth

나아만이 하나님의 사람에게 도로 와서 예물을 받으라 하고 노새 두 바리에 실을 흙을 청함

2 Kings 5:15–19: Naaman returns to the man of God, he and all his company, and comes, and stands before him; and he says, “See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.” The man of God says, “As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” Naaman urges him to take it; but he refuses. Naaman says, “If not, then, please let two mules’ load of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD. In this thing may the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may the LORD pardon your servant in this thing.” The man of God says to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a little way. WEB reads “He returned” at 5:15 and “He urged him” at 5:16, where the Korean Revised Version names Naaman (나아만이). Neither edition names the one who swears at 5:16 (WEB “But he said”; the Korean Revised Version 가로되, with no subject): this summary calls him the man of God, as 5:15 does. At 5:19 WEB reads “He said to him”, where the Korean Revised Version names Elisha (엘리사가 가로되 … 저가 엘리사를 떠나).
