2 Kings 8:11-14
11And he 1staredH5975H6440 steadilyH7760 at him 2untilH5704 Hazael wasH954 embarrassedH954, and then 3the manH376 of GodH430 weptH1058.
12And HazaelH2371 saidH559, “WhyH4069 is my lordH113 weepingH1058?” And he 4answeredH559, “BecauseH3588 5I knowH3045 the evilH7463 that you will doH6213 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478: you will setH7971 their fortifiedH4013 citiesH4013 on fireH784, you will killH2026 their youngH970 menH970 with the swordH2719, their littleH5768 onesH5768 you 6will smashH7376 toH7376 piecesH7376, and you will ripH1234 upH1234 their pregnantH2030 womenH2030.”
13Then HazaelH2371 saidH559, “But whatH4100 is your servantH5650--7a lowly dogH3611--that he could doH6213 thisH2088 greatH1419 thingH1697?” And ElishaH477 8answeredH559, “9The LordH3068 has shownH7200 me that you will be kingH4428 overH5921 AramH758.”
14So he leftH1980H4480 ElishaH477 and cameH935 to his masterH113, who saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 did ElishaH477 sayH559 to you?” And he 10answeredH559, “He toldH559 me that 11you would certainlyH2421 recoverH2421.”
