Nang mabasa ng hari ng Israel ang sulat, pinunit niya ang kanyang mga kasuotan at sinabi, “Diyos ba ako, na makapapatay at makapagbibigay-buhay, kaya ipinadala sa akin ng taong ito ang isang lalaki upang pagalingin ko siya mula sa kanyang ketong? Pag-isipan nga ninyo at tingnan na naghahanap lamang siya ng dahilan laban sa akin.”
