2 Kings 5:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ The king of Aram said, “Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he went and took with him ten talents^[a] of silver, six thousand shekels^[b] of gold, and ten sets of clothes. ⁶ He brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read, “Now when this letter comes to you, know that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may take away from him his leprosy.”

⁷ When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to give life, that this man sends a man to me to take away his leprosy? But consider, and see how he is seeking a quarrel with me.”
