2 Kings 5:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God to kill and to give life that he doth send to me, that I should heal a man from his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
8 But when Elisha the man of God had heard that the King of Israel had rent his clothes, he sent unto the King, saying, [a]Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a Prophet in Israel.
9 ¶ Then Naaman came with his horses, and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter,(A) he tore his robes and said, “Am I God?(B) Can I kill and bring back to life?(C) Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel(D) with me!”
8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: “Why have you torn your robes?
