And he said, all is well
He need give himself no uneasiness at the coming and sight of him:
my master hath sent me, saying, behold, even now there be come to me;
just then, since he departed from him:
from Mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets:
where perhaps was a school of them:
give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of
garments:
which, as it was a downright lie, so highly improbable that Elisha should ask so large a sum of money, with two changes of raiment, for two young scholars, see ( 2 Kings 5:5 ) and which Naaman, with a little reflection, might have seen through; but his heart was so filled with gratitude for the benefit received, that he was glad of an opportunity, at any rate, of showing respect to the prophet.
