2 Kings 8:7-15
7And ElishaH477 cameH935 to DamascusH1834; and BenhadadH1130 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 was sickH2470; and it was toldH5046 to him, sayingH559, The manH376 of GodH430 hath comeH935 hereH2008. 8And the kingH4428 saidH559 to HazaelH2371, TakeH3947 a presentH4503 in thy handH3027, and goH3212, meetH7125 the manH376 of GodH430, and enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 by him, sayingH559, Shall I recoverH2421 of this diseaseH2483? 9So HazaelH2371 wentH3212 to meetH7125 him, and tookH3947 a presentH4503 with himH3027, even of every good thingH2898 of DamascusH1834, fortyH705 camelsH1581’ burdenH4853, and cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him, and saidH559, Thy sonH1121 BenhadadH1130 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 hath sentH7971 me to thee, sayingH559, Shall I recoverH2421 of this diseaseH2483?1 10And ElishaH477 saidH559 to him, GoH3212, sayH559 to him, Thou mayest certainlyH2421 recoverH2421: but the LORDH3068 hath showedH7200 me that he shall surelyH4191 dieH4191. 11And he settledH5975 his countenanceH6440 steadfastlyH7760, until he was ashamedH954: and the manH376 of GodH430 weptH1058.2 12And HazaelH2371 saidH559, Why weepethH1058 my lordH113? And he answeredH559, Because I knowH3045 the evilH7451 that thou wilt doH6213 to 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, The LORDH3068 hath shownH7200 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 next dayH4283, 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.
