Discovery Box2 Kings 5:7 
Context5:7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God? Can I kill or restore life? Why does he ask me to cure a man of his skin disease? 1 Certainly you must see that he is looking for an excuse to fight me!” 2
2 Kings 5:14
Context5:14 So he went down and dipped in the Jordan seven times, as the prophet had instructed. 3 His skin became as smooth as a young child’s 4 and he was healed.
1 tn Heb “Am I God, killing and restoring life, that this one sends to me to cure a man from his skin disease?” In the Hebrew text this is one lengthy rhetorical question, which has been divided up in the translation for stylistic reasons.
2 tn Heb “Indeed, know and see that he is seeking an occasion with respect to me.”
3 tn Heb “according to the word of the man of God.”
4 tn Heb “and his skin was restored, like the skin of a small child.”
