5 Y díjole el rey de Siria: Anda, ve, y yo enviaré letras al rey de Israel. Partió pues él, llevando consigo diez talentos de plata, y seis mil [piezas] de oro, y diez mudas de vestidos.
6 Tomó también letras para el rey de Israel, que decían así: Luego en llegando á ti estas letras, sabe [por ellas] que yo envío á ti mi siervo Naamán, para que lo sanes de su lepra.
7 Y luego que el rey de Israel leyó las cartas, rasgó sus vestidos, y dijo: ¿Soy yo Dios, que mate y dé vida, para que éste envíe á mí á que sane un hombre de su lepra? Considerad ahora, y ved cómo busca ocasión contra mí.
8 Y como Eliseo, varón de Dios oyó que el rey de Israel había rasgado sus vestidos, envió á decir al rey: ¿Por qué has rasgado tus vestidos? Venga ahora á mí, y sabrá que hay profeta en Israel.
9 Y vino Naamán con sus caballos y con su carro, y paróse á las puertas de la casa de Eliseo.
