ויאמר נעמן הואל קח ככרים ויפרץ בו ויצר ככרים כסף בשני חרטים ושתי חלפות בגדים ויתן אל שני נעריו וישאו לפניו
Biblia Hebrica Stuttgartensia (1967/77)
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר נַעֲמָ֔ן הוֹאֵ֖ל קַ֣ח כִּכָּרָ֑יִם וַיִּפְרָץ־בֹּ֗ו וַיָּצַר֩ כִּכְּרַ֨יִם כֶּ֜סֶף בִּשְׁנֵ֣י חֲרִטִ֗ים וּשְׁתֵּי֙ חֲלִפֹ֣ות בְּגָדִ֔ים וַיִּתֵּן֙ אֶל־שְׁנֵ֣י נְעָרָ֔יו וַיִּשְׂא֖וּ לְפָנָֽיו ׃
Westminster Leningrad Codex

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Be content: 1 Kings 20:7, Luke 11:54

And he urged him: 2 Kings 5:16, 2 Kings 2:17

bound: 2 Kings 12:10, *marg.

and they bare: Isaiah 30:6

Reciprocal: Genesis 33:11 - urged him Genesis 45:22 - each 2 Kings 6:3 - Be content Micah 6:10 - the treasures

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Naaman said, be content,.... Or be pleased; do not object to it:

take two talents: a talent for each young man, which amounted to between three hundred and four hundred pounds apiece:

and he urged; pressed him hard, insisted upon his taking them, who might pretend a great deal of modesty, and a strict regard to his master's orders:

and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments; for each young man:

and laid them upon two of his servants, the servants of Naaman, not choosing to burden Elisha's servant with them; for such a quantity of money and clothes was pretty heavy:

and they bare [them] before him; both for his ease, and for his honour.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Be content - i. e. “consent.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 5:23. He - bound two talents of silver — It required two servants to carry these two talents, for, according to the computation above, each talent was about 120lbs. weight.
