2 Kings 5:7

Context
5:7 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 10:19

Context
10:19 So now, bring to me all the prophets of Baal, as well as all his servants and priests. 3  None of them must be absent, for I am offering a great sacrifice to Baal. Any of them who fail to appear will lose their lives.” But Jehu was tricking them 4  so he could destroy the servants of Baal.

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 “and now, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests summon to me.”

4 tn Heb “acted with deception [or, ‘trickery’].”
