23 Ug si Naaman miingon: Ikalipay ang pagkuha sa duha ka talento. Ug iyang gipugos siya, ug giputos ang duha ka talento nga salapi sa duha puntil, lakip ang duha ilisan nga saput, ug gipalukdo sa duha sa iyang mga alagad: ug ilang gidala kini sa atubangan niya.

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.
