2 KINGS 5:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“But he said, As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.”
Naaman pleads: "If not, please let there be given to your servant two mules' burden of earth, for your servant will no longer offer burnt offering or sacrifice to any god but the LORD." — the Syrian commander requests soil from Israel to take home, symbolic earth upon which to worship Israel's God. His desire to maintain covenant practice in his homeland shows genuine conversion.
