7Then ElishaH477 cameH935 to DamascusH1834 while Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of AramH758 was sickH2470, and the king was toldH5046, “The manH376 of GodH430H5704 has comeH935 hereH2008.”

8So the kingH4428 saidH559 toH413 HazaelH2371, “TakeH3947 a giftH4503 in your handH3027, goH1980 to meetH7122 the manH376 of GodH430, and inquireH1875 ofH853 the LORDH3068 through himH853, ‘Will I recoverH2421 from thisH2088 illnessH2483?’”

9So HazaelH2371 wentH1980 to meet ElishaH7122, takingH3947 with himH3027 a giftH4503 of fortyH705 camel loadsH4853H1581 of everyH3605 good thingH2898 from DamascusH1834.
