2 Reis 5:20

Listen to 2 Reis 5:20
20 Geazi, servo de Eliseu, o homem de Deus, pensou: “Meu senhor foi bom demais para Naamã, aquele arameu, não aceitando o que ele lhe ofereceu. Juro pelo nome do SENHOR que correrei atrás dele para ver se ganho alguma coisa”.

2 Reis 5:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:20

But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God said
Within himself, observing what had passed:

behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at
his hands that which he brought:
he speaks contemptibly of Naaman, as an alien from the commonwealth of Israel, and reproaches his master for letting him go free, without paying for his cure; when he thought he should have taken what he brought and offered, and given it to needy Israelites, and especially to the sons of the prophets, that wanted it; and perhaps it mostly disturbed him, that he had no share of it himself:

but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of
him;
the word for "somewhat", wanting a letter usually in it, is what is sometimes used for a blot; and Jarchi observes, that Gehazi taking something from Naaman, was a blot unto him, and indeed such an one that he could not wipe off.

2 Reis 5:20 In-Context

18 Mas que o SENHOR me perdoe por uma única coisa: quando meu senhor vai adorar no templo de Rimom, eu também tenho que me ajoelhar ali, pois ele se apoia em meu braço. Que o SENHOR perdoe o teu servo por isso”.
19 Disse Eliseu: “Vá em paz”.Quando Naamã já estava a certa distância,
20 Geazi, servo de Eliseu, o homem de Deus, pensou: “Meu senhor foi bom demais para Naamã, aquele arameu, não aceitando o que ele lhe ofereceu. Juro pelo nome do SENHOR que correrei atrás dele para ver se ganho alguma coisa”.
21 Então Geazi correu para alcançar Naamã, que, vendo-o se aproximar, desceu da carruagem para encontrá-lo e perguntou: “Está tudo bem?”
22 Geazi respondeu: “Sim, tudo bem. Mas o meu senhor enviou-me para dizer que dois jovens, discípulos dos profetas, acabaram de chegar, vindos dos montes de Efraim. Por favor, dê-lhes trinta e cinco quilos de prata e duas mudas de roupas finas”.
