2 Kings 5:5-7
Legacy 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 went and (A)took in his hand [b]ten talents of silver and [c]six thousand shekels of gold and ten (B)changes of clothes.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying,
“So 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 Now it happened that when the king of Israel read the letter, (C)he tore his clothes and said, “(D)Am I God, to put to death and to make alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But (E)know now, and see how he is seeking [d]a quarrel against me.”
