2 Kings 5:21

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 And Elisha said to him, Go thou in peace. And so Naaman went from Elisha in a chosen time of the land.
20 And Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, said in his heart, My lord hath spared this man of Syria, that he took not of him that, that he brought; (as) the Lord liveth, for I shall run after him, and I shall take of him something. (And Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, said in his heart, My lord hath spared this Naaman of Syria, and he took not from him, what he brought for him; as the Lord liveth, I shall run after him, and I shall get something from him.)
21 And Gehazi followed after the back of Naaman; and when Naaman had seen Gehazi running to him, he skipped down off the chariot into the meeting of Gehazi; and said, Whether all things be rightful? (Is everything all right?)
22 And he said, Rightfully; my lord sent me to thee, and said, Two young men of the hill of Ephraim, of the sons of (the) prophets, came now to me; give thou to them a talent of silver, and double changing (of) clothes. (And he said, All is well; but my lord hath sent me to thee, and said, Two young men, of the sons of the prophets, have now come to me, from the hill country of Ephraim; give thou to them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.)
23 And Naaman said, It is better that thou take two talents. And Naaman constrained him; and Naaman bound the two talents of silver in two bags, and the double clothes (with the two changes of clothing), and he put those upon his two servants, the which also bare it before Gehazi.
