And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

Verse 26 is found in chapter 5 of 2 Kings. Gehazi, Elisha’s servant, secretly attempts to obtain what his master had rejected. He uses the prophet’s name to request goods from Naaman and then lies about his actions. The seriousness of the episode lies in turning an act of free grace into an opportunity for personal enrichment. The judgment upon Gehazi directly contrasts with Elisha’s conduct. The leprosy that had left Naaman symbolically passes to the servant. The narrative warns that prophetic ministry cannot be used for private gain and that internal corruption can destroy the integrity of one who represents a holy work.
