2 Kings 5:7-9
International Standard Version
7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he ripped his clothes and cried out, “Am I God? Can I kill and give life? Is this man sending me a request[a] to heal a man’s leprosy? Let’s think about this—he’s looking for a reason to start a fight[b] with me!”
8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message[c] to the king and asked, “Why did you tear your clothes? Please, let the man come visit me and he will learn that there is a prophet in Israel!”
9 So Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots and stood in front of the door to Elisha’s house.
