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.
