2 Kings 5:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:21

So Gehazi followed after Naaman
As fast as he could:

and when Naaman saw him running after him;
which he might observe, looking back, or be informed of by some of his servants:

he lighted down from the chariot to meet him;
in honour to the prophet, whose servant he was:

and said, is all well?
fearing something ill had befallen Elisha; or he himself had done something wrong, which occasioned the servant to run after him.

2 Kings 5:21 In-Context

19 He said to him, "Go in peace," so he went from him {a short distance}.
20 But Gehazi the servant of Elisha, the man of God, thought, "Look, my master has refrained from taking what this Aramean Naaman brought from his hand. {As Yahweh lives}, I will certainly run after him, and I will accept something from him."
21 So Gehazi pursued after Naaman. When Naaman saw [someone] running after him, he jumped off his chariot to meet him and asked him, "[Is it] peace?"
22 He said, "Peace. My master has sent me saying, 'Look, {just now} two servants from the hill country of Ephraim came to me, from the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothing.'"
23 Then Naaman said, "Be prepared to accept two talents." So he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two sets of clothing and gave it to two of his servants and they carried it before him.
