2 Kings 8:7-15

And Elisha
<0477>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Damascus
<01834>_;

and Benhadad
<01130>

the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

was sick
<02470> (8802)_;

and it was told
<05046> (8714)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

is come
<0935> (8804)

hither
<02008>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Hazael
<02371>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

a present
<04503>

in thine hand
<03027>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)_,

meet
<07125> (8800)

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and enquire
<01875> (8804)

of the LORD
<03068>

by him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I recover
<02421> (8799)

of this disease
<02483>_?

So Hazael
<02371>

went
<03212> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and took
<03947> (8799)

a present
<04503>

with him
<03027>_,

even of every good thing
<02898>

of Damascus
<01834>_,

forty
<0705>

camels
<01581>_'

burden
<04853>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy son
<01121>

Benhadad
<01130>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me to thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I recover
<02421> (8799)

of this disease
<02483>_?

{with...: Heb. in his hand}

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

say
<0559> (8798)

unto him, Thou mayest certainly
<02421> (8800)

recover
<02421> (8799)_:

howbeit the LORD
<03068>

hath shewed
<07200> (8689)

me that he shall surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

And he settled
<05975> (8686)

his countenance
<06440>

stedfastly
<07760> (8799)_,

until he was ashamed
<0954> (8800)_:

and the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

wept
<01058> (8799)_.

{stedfastly: Heb. and set it}

And Hazael
<02371>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why weepeth
<01058> (8802)

my lord
<0113>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Because I know
<03045> (8804)

the evil
<07451>

that thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

their strong holds
<04013>

wilt thou set
<07971> (8762)

on fire
<0784>_,

and their young men
<0970>

wilt thou slay
<02026> (8799)

with the sword
<02719>_,

and wilt dash
<07376> (8762)

their children
<05768>_,

and rip up
<01234> (8762)

their women with child
<02030>_.

And Hazael
<02371>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

But what, [is] thy servant
<05650>

a dog
<03611>_,

that he should do
<06213> (8799)

this great
<01419>

thing
<01697>_?

And Elisha
<0477>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath shewed
<07200> (8689)

me that thou [shalt be] king
<04428>

over Syria
<0758>_.

So he departed
<03212> (8799)

from Elisha
<0477>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to his master
<0113>_;

who said
<0559> (8799)

to him, What said
<0559> (8804)

Elisha
<0477>

to thee? And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

He told
<0559> (8804)

me [that] thou shouldest surely
<02421> (8800)

recover
<02421> (8799)_.

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that he took
<03947> (8799)

a thick cloth
<04346>_,

and dipped
<02881> (8799)

[it] in water
<04325>_,

and spread
<06566> (8799)

[it] on his face
<06440>_,

so that he died
<04191> (8799)_:

and Hazael
<02371>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.
