2 Kings 5:6-8
6And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, 1which 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, 2he tore his clothes and said, “3Am I God, to kill and to keep alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But 4consider now, and see how he is seeking 5a quarrel against me.”
8Now it happened, when Elisha 6the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent word to the king, saying, “Why did you tear your clothes? Just have him come to me, and he shall learn that there is a prophet in Israel.”
