2 Kings 5:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Therefore, the king of Aram said, “Go, and I will send a letter with you to the king of Israel.”

So he went and took with him 750 pounds^[a] of silver, 150 pounds^[b] of gold, and ten sets of clothing.^{(A) 6} He brought the letter to the king of Israel, and it read:

When this letter comes to you, note that I have sent you my servant Naaman for you to cure him of his skin disease.

⁷ When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes^(B) and asked, “Am I God,^(C) killing and giving life, that this man expects me to cure a man of his skin disease? Recognize^[c] that he is only picking a fight with me.”^(D)
