Theological / Devotional

Servant. Heb. meshareth (see on ch. 4:43). This servant was not Gehazi, who was under a terrible curse for his crime (ch. 5:27). Perhaps it was one of the prophet-disciples who had accompanied Elisha to Dothan. By being thus associated with the prophet in his labors, these young men would receive valuable experience.

Alas, my master! The young man had neither the faith of his master nor the strength and courage that come as the result of experience.
