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 “Go in peace,” Elisha said. So Naaman started home again.
20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said to himself, “My master should not have let this Aramean get away without accepting any of his gifts. As surely as the LORD lives, I will chase after him and get something from him.”
21 So Gehazi set off after Naaman. When Naaman saw Gehazi running after him, he climbed down from his chariot and went to meet him. “Is everything all right?” Naaman asked.
22 “Yes,” Gehazi said, “but my master has sent me to tell you that two young prophets from the hill country of Ephraim have just arrived. He would like 75 pounds of silver and two sets of clothing to give to them.”
23 “By all means, take twice as much silver,” Naaman insisted. He gave him two sets of clothing, tied up the money in two bags, and sent two of his servants to carry the gifts for Gehazi.
