Gehazi the Servant
archetypes
Servant of Elisha; sees Naaman healed and his refused thanks; runs after the chariot with a story about young prophets needing silver; takes two talents and changes clothes; Elisha sees in spirit; the leprosy of Naaman attaches to Gehazi. Failure mode: Greed under the prophets roof; using the masters name for ones own pocket. Restoration path: None taken in the text; the leprosy clings. Markers: servant of the great prophet; sees the miracle and the refused payment; crafts a plausible story for the silver; master sees in spirit; what was refused for the master attaches to the servant
