GEHAZI
Servant of Elisha (2 Kgs 5:25) who instructed the prophet how best to recompense the generous Shunammite woman for her kindness to him (4:11-17). Gehazi took Elisha’s staff to use in reviving the woman’s dead son, but he was unsuccessful (v 31), and the prophet himself had to revive the child (vv 32-37). His greed in securing from Naaman presents declined by Elisha resulted in his contracting Naaman’s leprosy (5:20-23, 27). In 2 Kings 8:1-6 Gehazi again encountered the Shunammite woman as she was petitioning the king of Israel.
