Compare all
24 When he came to1 the citadel, he took them from their hand, and stored them away in the house; then he let the men go, and they departed.  
25 Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”
26 Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it atime to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?  
27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman ashall cling to you and your descendants forever.” And he went out from his presence bleprous, as white as snow.

2 Kings 5:26

Went not mine heart with thee - The Chaldee gives this a good turn: By the prophetic spirit it was shown unto me, when the man returned from his chariot to meet thee.

Is it a time to receive money - He gave him farther proof of this all-discerning prophetic spirit in telling him what he designed to do with the money; he intended to set up a splendid establishment, to have men-servants and maid-servants, to have oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, This, as the Chaldee says, he had thought in his heart to do.
