2 Kings 5:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 Then the king of Aram said, “Go [a]now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He departed and (A)took with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold and ten (B)changes of clothes.
6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy.” 7 When the king of Israel read the letter, (C)he tore his clothes and said, “(D)Am I God, to kill and to make 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 [b]a quarrel against me.”
