4 So Naaman went and told his master what the young girl from the land of Israel had said.
5 Then Aram’s king said, "Go ahead. I will send a letter to Israel’s king."So Naaman left. He took along ten kikkars of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
6 He brought the letter to Israel’s king. It read, "Along with this letter I’m sending you my servant Naaman so you can cure him of his skin disease."
7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he ripped his clothes. He said, "What? Am I God to hand out death and life? But this king writes me, asking me to cure someone of his skin disease! You must realize that he wants to start a fight with me."
8 When Elisha the man of God heard that Israel’s king had ripped his clothes, he sent word to the king: "Why did you rip your clothes? Let the man come to me. Then he’ll know that there’s a prophet in Israel."
9 Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots. He stopped at the door of Elisha’s house.
10 Elisha sent out a messenger who said, "Go and wash seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be restored and become clean."
