2 Kings 5:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:24

And when he came to the tower
Of Samaria, or which was near it; a fortified place, and where was a watch, to whom he could safely commit the money and clothes:

he took them from their hand;
not willing they should go any further with him, lest the affair should be discovered to his master:

and bestowed [them] in the house;
deposited them there in the hands of some person whom he could trust; or laid them out, or ordered them to be laid out, in the purchase of houses, lands, vineyards see ( 2 Kings 5:26 )

and he let the men go, and they departed;
to their master.

2 Kings 5:24 In-Context

22 et ille ait recte dominus meus misit me dicens modo venerunt ad me duo adulescentes de monte Ephraim ex filiis prophetarum da eis talentum argenti et vestes mutatorias duplices

23 dixitque Naaman melius est ut accipias duo talenta et coegit eum ligavitque duo talenta argenti in duobus saccis et duplicia vestimenta et inposuit duobus pueris suis qui et portaverunt coram eo

24 cumque venisset iam vesperi tulit de manu eorum et reposuit in domo dimisitque viros et abierunt

25 ipse autem ingressus stetit coram domino suo et dixit Heliseus unde venis Giezi qui respondit non ivit servus tuus quoquam

26 at ille nonne ait cor meum in praesenti erat quando reversus est homo de curru suo in occursum tui nunc igitur accepisti argentum et accepisti vestes ut emas oliveta et vineta et oves et boves et servos et ancillas
