Gehazi in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Gehazi was a servant of Elisha. One time, Elisha helped a man named Naaman get healed of his leprosy. Elisha wouldn't accept any payment from Naaman and sent him on his way. Gehazi thought his master should have received something from the man so took it upon himself to catch up to Naaman and ask for a few talents and some clothes. When Gehazi returned Elisha knew what he had done and Gehazi was struck with the leprosy that Naaman had rid himself of.
