2 Kings 5:5-7
5Then the king of Aram said, “Go 1now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed and 2took with him ten 3talents of silver, six thousand 4shekels of gold, and ten 5changes of clothes.
6And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, 6which said, “And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.” 7But when the king of Israel read the letter, 7he tore his clothes and said, “8Am I God, to kill and to keep alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But 9consider now, and see how he is seeking 10a quarrel against me.”
