2 KINGS 5

Elisha orders Naaman to wash in the Jordan sevenfold, which angers Naaman, since there were closer rivers, but he is persuaded to wash in the Jordan anyway and is cured. Gehazi, overcome with avarice, solicits, and obtains in the Elisha's name "a talent of silver and two changes of garments" from Naaman.
