Letter from the king of Aram: I’m sending you my servant Naaman so you can cure him of his leprosy. Tore my clothes. Am I God? Can I kill people and bring them back to life? He’s trying to pick a fight with me.

Replying to @booksofkings

Asked Elisha: should I kill them? Should I? He said no. Would you kill men you’d taken captive yourself? Give them food and water and send them home to their master. So we threw them a feast.

God strike me down, and worse, if Elisha son of Shaphat still has his head on his shoulders by the end of today.

I know what they’re up to. They know we’re starving. They’ve left the camp to hide in the fields and wait for us to come out.
