    1 Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man in his master's sight and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant warrior, but he had leprosy.

    7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, 'Am I God, able to kill and bring to life, that this man sends someone to me to cure him of his leprosy? See for yourselves that he is seeking a quarrel with me!'
