2 Kings 5:7 And it came to pass when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his garments, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks an occasion against me.
2 Kings 5:8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his garments, that he sent to the king, saying, Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

The verse centers on "elisha", "heard", "king", "israel", "rent", "garments", and "sent". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "elisha" and "heard", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 7's "And it came to pass when the..." into verse 9's "And Naaman came with his horses and...", so "elisha" and "heard" belong inside that flow. In 2 Kings context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "elisha" and "heard" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
