The king of Israel reads the letter from the king of Syria and tears his clothes
아람 왕의 글을 읽은 이스라엘 왕이 자기 옷을 찢음
2 Kings 5:5–7: the king of Syria says, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” Naaman departs, and takes with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing. He brings the letter to the king of Israel; it says, “Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.” When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tears his clothes and says, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.” WEB reads “He departed” at 5:5, where the Korean Revised Version names Naaman (나아만이 곧 떠날쌔). The Korean Revised Version gives the letter in another order: 내가 내 신하 나아만을 당신에게 보내오니 이 글이 당신에게 이르거든 당신은 그 문둥병을 고쳐주소서 (I send Naaman my servant to you; when this letter comes to you, heal him of his leprosy); and at 5:7 it reads 저 왕이 틈을 타서 (that king seeks an occasion), where WEB reads “he seeks a quarrel”.
