5Then the kingH4428 of AramH758 saidH559, “GoH1980 1nowH935, and I will sendH7971 a letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.” So he departedH1980 and 2tookH3947 with him tenH6235 3talentsH3603 of silverH3701, sixH8337 thousandH505 4shekels of goldH2091, and tenH6235 5changesH2487 of clothesH899.
6And he broughtH935 the letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, 6which saidH559, “And nowH6258 as thisH2088 letterH5612 comesH935 to you, beholdH2009, I have sentH7971 NaamanH5283 my servantH5650 to you, so that you may cureH622 him of his leprosyH6883.” 7But when the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 readH7121 the letterH5612, 7he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and saidH559, “8Am I GodH430, to killH4191 and to keepH2421 aliveH2421, that thisH2088 man is sendingH7971 word to me to cureH622 a manH376 of his leprosyH6883? But 9considerH3045 nowH4994, and seeH7200 howH3588 he is seekingH579 10aH579 quarrelH579 against me.”
