From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Scripture       invariably in the New Testament denotes that definite collection       of sacred books, regarded as given by inspiration of God, which       we usually call the Old Testament (2 Tim. 3:15, 16; John 20:9;       Gal. 3:22; 2 Pet. 1:20). It was God's purpose thus to perpetuate       his revealed will. From time to time he raised up men to commit       to writing in an infallible record the revelation he gave. The       "Scripture," or collection of sacred writings, was thus enlarged       from time to time as God saw necessary. We have now a completed       "Scripture," consisting of the Old and New Testaments. The Old       Testament canon in the time of our Lord was precisely the same       as that which we now possess under that name. He placed the seal       of his own authority on this collection of writings, as all       equally given by inspiration (Matt. 5:17; 7:12; 22:40; Luke       16:29, 31). (See {BIBLE}; {CANON}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Servitor       occurs only in 2 Kings 4:43, Authorized Version (R.V.,       "servant"). The Hebrew word there rendered "servitor" is       elsewhere rendered "minister," "servant" (Ex. 24:13; 33:11).       Probably Gehazi, the personal attendant on Elisha, is here       meant.
