2 Kings 5:6-8

6He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy.” 7When the king of Israel read the letter, 1he tore his clothes and said, “2Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But 3consider now, and see how he is seeking 4a quarrel against me.”

8It happened when Elisha 5the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent word to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Now let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
