Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 23. - And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents; rather, consent, take two talents. Do not oppose thyself to my wishes - consent to receive double what thou hast asked. Naaman is anxious to show his gratitude by giving as much as he can induce the ether side to accept. He suggests two talents, probably because the strangers who are said to have arrived are two. And he urged him. Gehazi must have made some show of declining the offer. And bound two talents of silver in two bags - i.e. put up two talents separately in two bags, closing the month Of the bag in each case by "binding" it round with a string - with two changes of garments - as asked for (ver. 22) - and laid them upon two of his servants. If the Hebrew silver talent was worth £375 as Keil supposes, or even £300 as Thenius reckons, it would be pretty well as much as an ordinary slave could carry, being somewhat over a hundredweight. And they bare them before him; i.e. they - the servants - bare the two sacks of money before him - Gehazi.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) Be content.--Be willing, consent to take. The Vatican LXX. omits; the Alexandrian renders ?????, owing to a transposition of the Hebrew letters (h?lo' for ho'el).Bound.--Deuteronomy 14:25.Bags.--Only here and in Isaiah 3:22, where it means "purses."Laid them upon two.--Gave them to two of his (i.e., Naaman's) young men. The courtesy of the act is obvious.Before him.--Gehazi.
