2 Kings 5:5-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁵ Therefore, the king of Aram said, ‘Go, and I will send a letter with you to the king of Israel.’

So he went and took with him 350 kilograms^[a] of silver, 70 kilograms^[b] of gold, and ten sets of clothing.^{(A) 6} He brought the letter to the king of Israel, and it read:

When this letter comes to you, note that I have sent you my servant Naaman for you to cure him of his skin disease.

⁷ When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes^(B) and asked, ‘Am I God,^(C) killing and giving life, that this man expects me to cure a man of his skin disease? Recognise^[c] that he is only picking a fight with me.’^(D)
