2 Kings 5:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And the king of Aram said, Go thy way thither, and I will send a letter unto the King of Israel. And he departed, and [a]took [b]with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiments,
6 And brought the letter to the king of Israel to this effect, Now when this letter is come unto thee, understand, that I have sent thee Naaman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.
7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God to kill and to give life that he doth send to me, that I should heal a man from his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
