mkjv@2Kings:8:7 @ And Elisha came to Damascus. And Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick. And they told him, saying, The man of God has come here.

mkjv@2Kings:8:8 @ And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and ask of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

mkjv@2Kings:8:9 @ And Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Your servant Ben-hadad, king of Syria, has sent me to you, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?

mkjv@2Kings:8:10 @ And Elisha said to him, Go and say to him, You shall certainly recover. But the LORD has shown me that he shall surely die.

mkjv@2Kings:8:11 @ And he settled his face steadfastly until he was ashamed. And the man of God wept.

mkjv@2Kings:8:12 @ And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And he answered, Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their children, and rip up their women with child.

mkjv@2Kings:8:13 @ And Hazael said, What! [Is] your servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD has shown me that you [shall be] king over Syria.

mkjv@2Kings:8:14 @ And he departed from Elisha and came to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And he answered, He told me you would surely recover.

mkjv@2Kings:8:15 @ And it happened on the next day he took a thick cloth and dipped [it] in water, and spread it on his face so that he died. And Hazael reigned in his place.
