6 Il porta au roi d’Israël la lettre, où il était dit: Maintenant, quand cette lettre te sera parvenue, tu sauras que je t’envoie Naaman, mon serviteur, afin que tu le guérisses de sa lèpre.
7 Après avoir lu la lettre, le roi d’Israël déchira ses vêtements, et dit: Suis-je un dieu, pour faire mourir et pour faire vivre, qu’il s’adresse à moi afin que je guérisse un homme de sa lèpre? Sachez donc et comprenez qu’il cherche une occasion de dispute avec moi.
8 Lorsqu’Élisée, homme de Dieu, apprit que le roi d’Israël avait déchiré ses vêtements, il envoya dire au roi: Pourquoi as-tu déchiré tes vêtements? Laisse-le venir à moi, et il saura qu’il y a un prophète en Israël.
9 Naaman vint avec ses chevaux et son char, et il s’arrêta à la porte de la maison d’Élisée.
