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. Naaman started out on his way.

20 Gehazi was the servant of Elisha, the man of God. Gehazi said to himself, "My master was too easy on Naaman from Aram. He should have accepted the gift he brought. I'm going to run after Naaman. I'm going to get something from him. And that's just as sure as the LORD is alive."

21 Gehazi hurried after Naaman. Naaman saw him running toward him. So he got down from the chariot to greet him. "Is everything all right?" he asked.

22 "Everything is all right," Gehazi answered. "My master sent me to say, 'Two young men from the company of the prophets have just come to me. They've come from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them 75 pounds of silver and two sets of clothes.' "

23 "I wish you would take twice as much silver," said Naaman. He begged Gehazi to accept it. Then Naaman tied up 150 pounds of silver in two bags. He also gave Gehazi two sets of clothes. He gave all of it to two of his own servants. They carried it ahead of Gehazi.
