"Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?" Luke 19:23 KJV
My focus is on usury, usury in the bible is negative. It was the least or a last resort for the servant to use if he did not have the knowledge, creativity, wisdom to increase the master money. The servant did not even have the capacity to increase the master money. I think why didn't he consult with the other servants that had the master's money on their plan to increase the master money or some one else, perhaps it was pride. Pride does not serve a person well. If it was pride it caused this servant's failure. It is nothing wrong with asking for help, in asking for help you might not get the help you ask for however you may learn something just from the activity of asking for help.
