2 Kings 8:7-15

7Then Elisha came to 1Damascus. Now 2Ben-hadad, the king of Aram, was sick, and it was told to him, saying, “3The man of God has come here.” 8And the king said to 4Hazael, “5Take a gift in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and 6inquire of the Lord by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” 9So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand, even every kind of good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ loads; and he came and stood before him and said, “7Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” 10Then Elisha said to him, “8Go, say to him, ‘You will certainly recover’; but the 9Lord has shown me that he will certainly die.” 11And he 10stared steadily at him 11until Hazael was embarrassed, and then 12the man of God wept. 12And Hazael said, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he 13answered, “Because 14I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel: you will set their fortified cities on fire, you will kill their young men with the sword, their little ones you 15will smash to pieces, and you will rip up their pregnant women.” 13Then Hazael said, “But what is your servant--16a lowly dog--that he could do this great thing?” And Elisha 17answered, “18The Lord has shown me that you will be king over Aram.” 14So he left Elisha and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he 19answered, “He told me that 20you would certainly recover.” 15But on the following day, he took the 21cover and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, 22so that he died. And Hazael became king in his place.
