Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Elisha came into Damascus ,
when Ben-hadad king of Syria ,
was sick ,
and it was told him ,
saying ,
The man of God hath come as far as this place .
*
So the king said unto Hazael Take in thy hand a present ,
and go to meet the man of God ,
so shalt thou enquire of Yahweh ,
from him ,
saying ,
Shall I recover from this sickness ?
*
So Hazael went to meet him ,
and took a present in his hand ,
even every good thing of Damascus ,
forty camels burden ,
and came ,
and stood before him ,
and said Thy son ,
Ben-hadad king of Syria ,
hath sent me unto thee ,
saying ,
Shall I recover from this sickness ?
*
And Elisha said unto him ,
Go ,
say to him ,
Thou shalt ,
recover ;
And yet Yahweh hath shown me ,
that he will ,
die .
*
And he settled his countenance ,
and fixed it until he turned pale ,
and the man of God ,
wept .
*
Then said Hazael ,
Why ,
is my lord ,
weeping ?
And he said Because I know what thou wilt do to the sons of Israel ,
by way of harm Their fortresses ,
thou wilt set on fire ,
and ,
their choice young men ,
with the sword ,
thou wilt slay ,
and ,
their children ,
thou wilt dash in pieces ,
and ,
their women with child ,
thou wilt rip up .
*
And Hazael said ,
But what is thy servantthe dogthat he should do this great thing ?
And Elisha said ,
Yahweh hath shown thee unto me ,
as king over Syria .
*
So he departed from Elisha ,
and came in unto his lord ,
who said to him ,
What said ,
Elisha ,
unto thee ?
And he said .
He told me thou wouldst ,
recover .
*
But it came to pass on the morrow ,
that he took the coverlet ,
and dipped it in water ,
and spread it over his face ,
that he died ,
and ,
Hazael ,
reigned ,
in his stead .
