6And he broughtH935 the letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, 1which 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, 2he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and saidH559, “3Am I GodH430, to killH4191 and to keepH2421 aliveH2421, that thisH2088 man is sendingH7971 word to me to cureH622 a manH376 of his leprosyH6883? But 4considerH3045 nowH4994, and seeH7200 howH3588 he is seekingH579 5aH579 quarrelH579 against me.”

8Now it happenedH1961, when ElishaH477 6the manH376 of GodH430 heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had tornH7167 his clothesH899, that he sentH7971 word to the kingH4428, sayingH559, “WhyH4100 did you tearH7167 your clothesH899? JustH4994 have him comeH935 to me, and he shall learnH3045 that thereH3426 isH3426 a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478.”
