Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 5:23

"And Naaman said, Be pleased to take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him." — 2 Kings 5:23 (ASV)

Be content. —Be willing, consent to take. The Vatican Septuagint omits this phrase; the Alexandrian version renders it as αὐτοῦ, owing to a transposition of the Hebrew letters (hălô’ for hô’êl).

Bound. —Deuteronomy 14:25.

Bags. —Only here and in Isaiah 3:22, where it means “purses.”

Laid them upon two. —Gave them to two of his (i.e., Naaman’s) young men. The courtesy of the act is obvious.

Before him. —Gehazi.
