וְגֵחֲזִ֞י עָבַ֣ר לִפְנֵיהֶ֗ם וַיָּ֤שֶׂם אֶת־הַמִּשְׁעֶ֙נֶת֙ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י הַנַּ֔עַר וְאֵ֥ין ק֖וֹל וְאֵ֣ין קָ֑שֶׁב וַיָּ֤שָׁב לִקְרָאתוֹ֙ וַיַּגֶּד־ל֣וֹ לֵאמֹ֔ר לֹ֥א הֵקִ֖יץ הַנָּֽעַר׃
게하시가 저희의 앞서 가서 지팡이를 그 아이의 얼굴에 놓았으나 소리도 없고 듣는 모양도 없는지라 돌아와서 엘리사를 맞아 가로되 아이가 깨지 아니하였나이다
From David to Destruction
Unfortunately, once again, Geichazi fails. The fact that Geichazi does not close the door when performing this miracle223This is apparent from a comparison of Melachim II 4:31 with 4:32. indicates he is interested in showing off his ability to revive the dead to others. A concerned Jew may be able to invoke divine intervention to help another only if he purely seeks to benefit his friend. As Geichazi’s actions are tainted with a personal agenda, his efforts fail.
