2 Kings 8:7-13
7And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him saying, The man of 1God is come hither.
8And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of 2God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
9And Hazael went to meet him, and took with him a present, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden; and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
10And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou wilt certainly recover. But Jehovah has shewn me that he shall certainly die.
11And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed; and the man of 3God wept.
12And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou kill with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their children, and rip up their women with child.
13And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Jehovah has shewn me that thou wilt be king over Syria.
