2 Kings 5:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes in dismay and exclaimed, “How can the king of Syria expect me to cure this man? Does he think that I am God,^[a] with the power of life and death? It's plain that he is trying to start a quarrel with me!”

⁸ When the prophet Elisha heard what had happened, he sent word to the king: “Why are you so upset? Send the man to me, and I'll show him that there is a prophet in Israel!”

⁹ So Naaman went with his horses and chariot and stopped at the entrance to Elisha's house.
