The story of Gehazi demonstrated God's hatred for greed. Gehazi was the servant of the prophet Elisha, and he appeared in the story of the healing of Naaman the Syrian. After Naaman was healed of his leprosy, he offered to give Gehazi money as a reward. Gehazi, however, was greedy and asked for more, even after Elisha had refused the gifts. As a result of his greed, Gehazi was struck with leprosy, just as Naaman had been before. This story demonstrates God's hatred for greed and His rejection of those who seek to serve Him for personal gain rather than out of a pure heart.
