2 Kings 5:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Then the king of Aram said, “Go [a]now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed and (A)took with him ten [b]talents of silver, six thousand [c]shekels of gold, and ten (B)changes of clothes.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, [d]which said, “And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.” 7 But when the king of Israel read the letter, (C)he tore his clothes and said, “(D)Am I God, to kill and to keep alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But (E)consider now, and see how he is seeking [e]a quarrel against me.”
