Commentary for II Kings 6:1
וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ בְנֵֽי־הַנְּבִיאִ֖ים אֶל־אֱלִישָׁ֑ע הִנֵּֽה־נָ֣א הַמָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲנַ֜חְנוּ יֹשְׁבִ֥ים שָׁ֛ם לְפָנֶ֖יךָ צַ֥ר מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha: ‘Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.
Rashi on II Kings
The disciples of the prophets said. The miracles that were performed through him, he continues to list. Our Rabbis said, that from here [we deduce] that Geichazi would reject the students [who came] before him,1I.e., many of the students who came previously, found Geichazi’s behavior and bad character repulsive and did not stay while he was around. and when he was banished, many students came, and the place became cramped on account of them.2See Maseches Sotah 47a.
