So Hazael went to meet him ,
and took a present with him ,
even of every good thing of Damascus ,
forty camels '

and came and stood before him ,

Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee ,
saying ,
Shall I recover of this sickness ?

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 strongholds wilt thou set on fire ,
and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword ,
and wilt dash in pieces their little ones ,
and rip up their women with child .

and came to his master ;
who said to him ,
What said Elisha to thee ?
And he answered ,
He told me that thou wouldest surely recover .

And it came to pass on the morrow ,
that he took the coverlet ,
and dipped it in water ,
and spread it on his face ,
so that he died :
and Hazael reigned in his stead .
