5 The king of Aram said, |You may go. I will also send a letter to the king of Israel.| When Naaman left, he took 750 pounds of silver, 150 pounds of gold, and 10 sets of clothing with him. 6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel. It read, |I'm sending my officer Naaman with this letter. Cure him of his skin disease.| 7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes [in distress]. He asked, |Am I God? Can I kill someone and then bring him back to life? This man sends someone to me so that I can cure his skin disease! All of you should realize and understand that he's trying to pick a fight with me.| 2 Kings 5:5-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
