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.
