lesserot 2Kings:8:7-15
lesserot@2Kings:8:7 @ And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come even hither.
lesserot@2Kings:8:8 @ And the king said unto Chazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the Lord from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
lesserot@2Kings:8:9 @ So Chazael went to meet him, and took a present in his hand, and all manner of good things of Damascus, a burden for forty camels, and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad the king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
lesserot@2Kings:8:10 @ And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover; nevertheless the Lord hath shown me that he shall surely die.
lesserot@2Kings:8:11 @ And he restrained his countenance, and held back as long as he could: and then wept the man of God.
lesserot@2Kings:8:12 @ And Chazael said, Why doth my Lord weep? And he said, Because I know what evil 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 their children wilt thou dash, and their pregnant women wilt thou rip up.
lesserot@2Kings:8:13 @ And Chazael said, But what is thy servant, the dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord hath caused me to see thee as king over Syria.
lesserot@2Kings:8:14 @ So he went away from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What hath Elisha said to thee? And he said, he said to me that thou couldst surely recover.
lesserot@2Kings:8:15 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a cover lid, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, and he died: and Chazael became king in his stead.
