Haydock's commentary
Giezi was not yet infected; (Salien; Menochius) or if he was, (Haydock) the king spoke to him at a distance, overcoming his natural repugnance, in order to know some particulars of the life of Eliseus. (Calmet)
This he would more readily do, if Giezi had brought the glad tidings of plenty. (Tirinus)
Providence ordered that he should be present at this time, that he might bear witness to the woman. (Calmet)
