5“Go nowH1980H935,” saidH559 the kingH4428 of AramH758, “and I will send you withH7971 a letterH5612 toH413 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.”

So Naaman departedH1980, takingH3947 with himH3027 tenH6235 talentsH3603 of silverH3701,1 sixH8337 thousandH505 shekels of goldH2091,2 and tenH6235 setsH2487 of clothingH899.

6And the letterH5612 that he tookH935 toH413 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 statedH559: “WithH6258 thisH2088H413 letterH5612 I am sendingH7971 my servantH5650 NaamanH5283, so that you may cure himH622 of his leprosyH6883.”

When the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 readH7121 the letterH5612, he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and askedH559, “Am IH589 GodH430, killingH4191 and giving lifeH2421, thatH3588 thisH2088 man expectsH7971 meH413 to cureH622 a leperH376H6883? Surely you canH3045H4994 seeH7200 thatH3588 heH1931 is seeking a quarrelH579 with me!”
