Now therfor thou hast take siluer, and thou hast take clothis, that thou bie places of olyues, and vyneris, and scheep, and oxis, and seruauntis, and handmaydis; 27 but also the lepre of Naaman schal cleue to thee, and to thi seed withouten ende.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He lighted down from the chariot - This was an act of quite uncalled-for courtesy. It indicates eagerness to honor the master in the person of his servant.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 5:21. He lighted down from the chariot — He treats even the prophet's servant with the profoundest respect, alights from his chariot, and goes to meet him.

Is all well? — השלום hashalom; Is it peace, or prosperity?
