2Ki 5:20-27. Gehazi, by a lie, obtains a present, but is smitten with leprosy.

I will run after him, and take somewhat of him - The respectful courtesy to Elisha, shown in the person of his servant, and the open-handed liberality of his gifts, attest the fullness of Naaman’s gratitude; while the lie - the artful management is dismissing the bearers of the treasure, and the deceitful appearance before his master, as if he had not left the house - give a most unfavorable impression of Gehazi’s character.
