2 Kings 8:7-12

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. And he went inH935 and stoodH5975 before himH6440 and saidH559, “Your sonH1121 Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of AramH758 has sent meH7971H413 to askH559, ‘Will I recoverH2421 from thisH2088 illnessH2483?’”

10ElishaH477 answeredH559H413, “GoH1980 and tell himH559H3808, ‘You will surely recoverH2421.’ But the LORDH30681 has shown meH7200 thatH3588 in fact he will dieH4191.”

11Elisha fixedH5975 his gazeH6440 steadilyH7760 on him untilH5704 Hazael became uncomfortableH954. Then the manH376 of GodH430 began to weepH1058.

12“WhyH4069 is my lordH113 weepingH1058?” askedH559 HazaelH2371.

“BecauseH3588 I knowH3045 the evilH7451 you will doH6213 to the IsraelitesH1121H3478,” Elisha repliedH559. “You will setH7971 fireH784 to their fortressesH4013, killH2026 their young menH970 with the swordH2719, dash their little onesH5768 to piecesH7376, and rip openH1234 their pregnant womenH2030.”
