2 Kings 8:7-12

7And ElishaH477 cameH935 to DamascusH1834; and Ben-HadadH1130 the kingH4428 of Syria was sickH2470; and it was toldH5046 him sayingH559, The manH376 of 1GodH430 is comeH935 hither.

8And the kingH4428 saidH559 to HazaelH2371, TakeH3947 a present in thy handH3027, and go, meet the manH376 of 2GodH430, and inquire of Jehovah by him, sayingH559, Shall I recover from this disease?

9And HazaelH2371 wentH935 to meet him, and tookH3947 with him a present, even of every goodH2898 thing of DamascusH1834, fortyH705 camels' burdenH4853; and he cameH935 and stoodH5975 before him, and saidH559, Thy sonH1121 Ben-HadadH1130 kingH4428 of Syria has sentH7971 me to thee, sayingH559, Shall I recover from this disease?

10And ElishaH477 saidH559 to him, Go, sayH559 to him, Thou wilt certainly recover. But Jehovah has shewn me that he shall certainly dieH4191.

11And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamedH954; and the manH376 of 3GodH430 weptH1058.

12And HazaelH2371 saidH559, WhyH4069 does my lordH113 weepH1058? And he saidH559, Because I knowH3045 the evilH7451 that thou wilt do to the children of IsraelH3478: their strongholdsH4013 wilt thou set on fireH784, and their youngH1121 menH970 wilt thou killH2026 with the swordH2719, and wilt dashH7376 in pieces their children, and rip up their women with child.
