*
And Elisha said unto him ,
Go ,
say unto him ,
Thou mayest certainly recover :
howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die .
*
And he settled his countenance stedfastly ,
until he was ashamed :
and the man of God wept .
*
And Hazael said ,
Why weepeth my lord ?
And he answered ,
Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel :
their strong holds wilt thou set on fire ,
and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword ,
and wilt dash their children ,
and rip up their women with child .
*
And Hazael said ,
But what ,
is thy servant a dog ,
that he should do this great thing ?
And Elisha answered ,
The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria .
*
So he departed from Elisha ,
and came to his master ;
who said to him ,
What said Elisha to thee ?
And he answered ,
He told me that thou shouldest surely recover .
*
And it came to pass on the morrow ,
that 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 stead .
*
And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel ,
Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah ,
Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign .
*
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign ;
and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem .
*
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel ,
as did the house of Ahab :
for the daughter of Ahab was his wife :
and he did evil in the sight of the LORD .
*
Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant '
s sake ,
as he promised him to give him alway a light ,
and to his children .
*
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah ,
and made a king over themselves .
*
So Joram went over to Zair ,
and all the chariots with him :
and he rose by night ,
and smote the Edomites which compassed him about ,
and the captains of the chariots :
and the people fled into their tents .
*
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day .
Then Libnah revolted at the same time .
*
And the rest of the acts of Joram ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
*
And Joram slept with his fathers ,
and was buried with his fathers in the city of David :
and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead .
*
In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign .
*
Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign ;
and he reigned one year in Jerusalem .
And his mother '
s name was Athaliah ,
the daughter of Omri king of Israel .
*
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab ,
and did evil in the sight of the LORD ,
as did the house of Ahab :
for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab .
*
And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead ;
and the Syrians wounded Joram .
*
And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah ,
when he fought against Hazael king of Syria .
And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel ,
because he was sick .
