15Then Naaman and his whole company went back to the man of God, stood before him, and declared, “I know there’s no God in the whole world except in Israel. Therefore, please accept a gift from your servant.” 15 He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, See now, I know that there is no God in all the eretz, but in Yisra'el: now therefore, please take a present from your servant. 15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant. 15 Then he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and he came and stood before him. And he said, "Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; so accept now a present from your servant." 15 Naaman and all his group returned to Elisha. He stood before Elisha and said, "Look, I now know there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. Now please accept a gift from me." 15 He and his entire entourage returned to the prophet. Naaman came and stood before him. He said, "For sure I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel! Now, please accept a gift from your servant." 15Then Naaman returned to the man of God, he and all the people in his group, and stood before him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto him,.... That is, the prophet said to Naaman:
go in peace: in peace of mind; be assured that God has pardoned this and all other transgressions:
so he departed from him a little way; about a mile, as the Targum, and so other Jewish writers; of this phrase, :-, some say a land's length, that is, about one hundred and twenty feet; rather it was a thousand cubits, or half a mile.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
So he departed ... - This clause should not be separated from the succeeding verse. The meaning is, âSo he departed from him, and had gone a little way, when Gehazi bethought himself of what he would do, and followed after him.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 5:19. And he said unto him — There is a most singular and important reading in one of De Rossi's MSS., which he numbers 191. It has in the margin ×× ×§ that is, "read ×× lo, not, instead of ×× lo, to him." Now this reading supposes that Naaman did ask permission from the prophet to worship in Rimmon's temple; to which the prophet answers, No; go in peace: that is, maintain thy holy resolutions, be a consistent worshipper of the true God, and avoid all idolatrous practices. Another MS., No. 383, appears first to have written ×× to him, but to have corrected it immediately by inserting an × aleph after the × vau; and thus, instead of making it ×× no, it has made it ××× lu, which is no word.
