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

[5:7]  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.

[5:7]  2 tn Heb “Indeed, know and see that he is seeking an occasion with respect to me.”
