Lièwángjìxià 5:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:7

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the
letter, that he rent his clothes
As one in great distress, being thrown into perplexity of mind by it, not knowing what to do; or, as some think, at the blasphemy he supposed to be in it, requiring that of him which only God could do:

and said, am I God, to kill and to make alive;
or have the power of life and death, which only belongs to the Supreme Being:

that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy;
for a leper was reckoned as one dead, his disease incurable, his flesh upon him being mortified by it, see ( Numbers 12:12 ) and therefore not supposed to be in the power of man, only of God, to cure; and therefore, in Israel, none had anything to do with the leper but the priest, in the name of God:

wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel
against me;
to pick a quarrel with him, in order to go to war with him as he supposed. This seems to have been spoken to his lords and courtiers about him.
