2 Kings 8:8-15

8And the king said to 1Hazael, “2Take a gift in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and 3inquire 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, “4Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” 10Then Elisha said to him, “5Go, say to him, ‘You will certainly recover’; but the 6Lord has shown me that he will certainly die.” 11And he 7stared steadily at him 8until Hazael was embarrassed, and then 9the man of God wept. 12And Hazael said, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he 10answered, “Because 11I 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 12will smash to pieces, and you will rip up their pregnant women.” 13Then Hazael said, “But what is your servant--13a lowly dog--that he could do this great thing?” And Elisha 14answered, “15The 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 16answered, “He told me that 17you would certainly recover.” 15But on the following day, he took the 18cover and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, 19so that he died. And Hazael became king in his place.
