From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Gehazi
     valley of vision, Elisha's trusted servant (2 Kings 4:31; 5:25;
     8:4, 5). He appears in connection with the history of the
     Shunammite (2 Kings 4:14, 31) and of Naaman the Syrian. On this
     latter occasion he was guilty of duplicity and dishonesty of
     conduct, causing Elisha to denounce his crime with righteous


     sternness, and pass on him the terrible doom that the leprosy of
     Naaman would cleave to him and his for ever (5:20-27).
     
       He afterwards appeared before king Joram, to whom he recounted
     the great deeds of his master (2 Kings 8:1-6).
