2 Reis 5:20

Listen to 2 Reis 5:20
20 Quando Naamã já ia a uma pequena distância, Geazi, moço de Eliseu, o homem de Deus, disse: Eis que meu senhor poupou a este sírio Naamã, não recebendo da mão dele coisa alguma do que trazia; vive o Senhor, que hei de correr atrás dele, e receber dele alguma coisa.

2 Reis 5:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:20

But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God said
Within himself, observing what had passed:

behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at
his hands that which he brought:
he speaks contemptibly of Naaman, as an alien from the commonwealth of Israel, and reproaches his master for letting him go free, without paying for his cure; when he thought he should have taken what he brought and offered, and given it to needy Israelites, and especially to the sons of the prophets, that wanted it; and perhaps it mostly disturbed him, that he had no share of it himself:

but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of
him;
the word for "somewhat", wanting a letter usually in it, is what is sometimes used for a blot; and Jarchi observes, that Gehazi taking something from Naaman, was a blot unto him, and indeed such an one that he could not wipe off.

2 Reis 5:20 In-Context

18 Nisto perdoe o Senhor ao teu servo: Quando meu amo entrar na casa de Rimom para ali adorar, e ele se apoiar na minha mão, e eu também me tenha de encurvar na casa de Rimom; quando assim me encurvar na casa de Rimom, nisto perdoe o Senhor ao teu servo.
19 Eliseu lhe disse: Vai em paz.
20 Quando Naamã já ia a uma pequena distância, Geazi, moço de Eliseu, o homem de Deus, disse: Eis que meu senhor poupou a este sírio Naamã, não recebendo da mão dele coisa alguma do que trazia; vive o Senhor, que hei de correr atrás dele, e receber dele alguma coisa.
21 Foi pois, Geazi em alcance de Naamã. Este, vendo que alguém corria atrás dele, saltou do carro a encontrá-lo, e perguntou: Vai tudo bem?
22 Respondeu ele: Tudo vai bem. Meu senhor me enviou a dizer-te: Eis que agora mesmo vieram a mim dois mancebos dos filhos dos profetas da região montanhosa de Efraim; dá-lhes, pois, um talento de prata e duas mudas de roupa.
