וַיִּרְדֹּ֥ף גֵּיחֲזִ֖י אַחֲרֵ֣י נַֽעֲמָ֑ן וַיִּרְאֶ֤ה נַֽעֲמָן֙ רָ֣ץ אַחֲרָ֔יו וַיִּפֹּ֞ל מֵעַ֧ל הַמֶּרְכָּבָ֛ה לִקְרָאתֹ֖ו וַיֹּ֥אמֶר הֲשָׁלֹֽום ׃

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

he lighted: Luke 7:6, Luke 7:7, Acts 8:31, Acts 10:25, Acts 10:26

Is all well: Heb. Is there peace, 2 Kings 4:26, 2 Kings 9:17-22

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 1:16 - on which thou art gone up 2 Kings 9:11 - Is all well Acts 5:2 - kept

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?
