2 Kings 5:22

22 And he said, "All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, `Behold, even now there have come to me from Mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver and two changes of garments.'"

2 Kings 5:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:22

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.

2 Kings 5:22 In-Context

20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian in not receiving at his hands that which he brought; but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him and take something from him."

21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he alighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, "Is all well?"

22 And he said, "All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, `Behold, even now there have come to me from Mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver and two changes of garments.'"

23 And Naaman said, "Be content, take two talents." And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bore them before him.

24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand and stowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.
