5 The king of Aram replied, |Go now, and I'll send a letter to the king of Israel.| So he left and took with him ten talents of silver and 6,000 units of gold, along with ten sets of clothing. 6 He also brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read as follows: |...and now as this letter finds its way to you, look! I've sent my servant Naaman to you so you may heal him of his leprosy.| 7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he ripped his clothes and cried out, |Am I God? Can I kill and give life? Is this man sending me a request to heal a man's leprosy? Let's think about this—he's looking for a reason to start a fight with me!| 2 Kings 5:5-7, Intl. Standard Version.
