Scripture focus
And he said, All [is] well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
2 Kings 5:22 — KJV
My master hath sent me. Gehazi now sought to cloak his avarice with a lie.
Elisha was to be made responsible for the servant’s greed. The worthy name of the unselfish prophet was to be defamed by the cupidity of his unworthy servant. One sin rarely stands alone, for evil always leads the way to more and greater evil.
From mount Ephraim. There were at least two schools of the prophets in the highlands of Ephraim, Bethel and Gilgal (see on ch. 2:1).
Two young men. Gehazi did not wish to be recognized as displaying his greed. Rather, he would play the part of a friend concerned about two young men in need. Would not Naaman be interested in them to the extent of assisting them with one of his ten talents of silver and two of his ten changes of raiment?
