2 Kings 8:11-15

11And he settledH5975 his countenanceH6440 stedfastlyH7760, until he was ashamedH954: and the manH376 of GodH430 weptH1058.1

12And HazaelH2371 saidH559, Why weepethH1058 my lordH113? And he answeredH559, Because I knowH3045 the evilH7451 that thou wilt doH6213 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: their strong holdsH4013 wilt thou setH7971 on fireH784, and their young menH970 wilt thou slayH2026 with the swordH2719, and wilt dashH7376 their childrenH5768, and rip upH1234 their women with childH2030.

13And HazaelH2371 saidH559, But what, is thy servantH5650 a dogH3611, that he should doH6213 this greatH1419 thingH1697? And ElishaH477 answeredH559, YhwhH3068 hath shewedH7200 me that thou shalt be kingH4428 over SyriaH758.

14So he departedH3212 from ElishaH477, and cameH935 to his masterH113; who saidH559 to him, What saidH559 ElishaH477 to thee? And he answeredH559, He toldH559 me that thou shouldest surelyH2421 recoverH2421.

15And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that he tookH3947 a thick clothH4346, and dippedH2881 it in waterH4325, and spreadH6566 it on his faceH6440, so that he diedH4191: and HazaelH2371 reignedH4427 in his stead.
