3. She said to her mistress, “If only my lord would come before the prophet who is in Samaria; then he would cure his skin disease.”
4. He came and told his master, saying, “Thus and so the girl who is from the land of Israel said.”
5. So the king of Aram said, “Go, I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He went and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
6. So he brought the letter of the king to Israel, saying, “Now, when this letter comes to you, I have just sent Naaman my servant to you that you may cure him from his skin disease.”
7. It happened that when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God to cause death or to give life? This man is sending a man to me to cure his disease. Indeed! But know and see that he seeks an opportunity against me.”
8. It happened that as soon as Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent to the king, saying, “Why did you tear your clothes? Please may he come to me, that he might know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9. Then Naaman came with his horses and his chariots, and he stopped at the doorway of the house of Elisha.
