2 Kings 8:8-15

8And the kingH4428 saidH559 to 1HazaelH2371, “2TakeH3947 a giftH4503 in your handH3027 and goH1980 to meetH7122 the manH376 of GodH430, and 3inquireH1875 of the LordH3068 by him, sayingH559, ‘Will I recoverH2421 from thisH2088 sicknessH2483?’” 9So HazaelH2371 wentH1980 to meetH7122 him and tookH3947 a giftH4503 in his handH3027, even everyH3605 kind of goodH2898 thingH2898 of DamascusH1834, fortyH705 camels’H1581 loadsH4853; and he cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him and saidH559, “4Your sonH1121 Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of AramH758 has sentH7971 me to you, sayingH559, ‘Will I recoverH2421 from thisH2088 sicknessH2483?’” 10Then ElishaH477 saidH559 to him, “5GoH1980, sayH559 to him, ‘You will certainlyH2421 recoverH2421’; but the 6LordH3068 has shownH7200 me that he will certainlyH4191 dieH4191.” 11And he 7staredH5975H6440 steadilyH7760 at him 8untilH5704 Hazael wasH954 embarrassedH954, and then 9the manH376 of GodH430 weptH1058. 12And HazaelH2371 saidH559, “WhyH4069 is my lordH113 weepingH1058?” And he 10answeredH559, “BecauseH3588 11I 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 12will smashH7376 toH7376 piecesH7376, and you will ripH1234 upH1234 their pregnantH2030 womenH2030.” 13Then HazaelH2371 saidH559, “But whatH4100 is your servantH5650--13a lowly dogH3611--that he could doH6213 thisH2088 greatH1419 thingH1697?” And ElishaH477 14answeredH559, “15The 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 16answeredH559, “He toldH559 me that 17you would certainlyH2421 recoverH2421.” 15But on the followingH4283 dayH4283, he tookH3947 the 18coverH4345 and dippedH2881 it in waterH4325, and spreadH6566 it overH5921 his faceH6440, 19so that he diedH4191. And HazaelH2371 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.
