2 Kings 8:9-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
9
So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand, even every kind of good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ loads; and he came and stood before him and said, 'Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’?'
10
Then Elisha said to him, 'Go, say to him, ‘You will certainly recover’; but the
Lord
has shown me that he will certainly die.'
11
And he stared steadily
at him
until
Hazael
was embarrassed, and
then
the man of God wept.
12
And Hazael said, 'Why is my lord weeping?' And he answered, 'Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel: you will set their fortified cities on fire, you will kill their young men with the sword, their little ones you will smash to pieces, and you will rip up their pregnant women.'
13
Then Hazael said, 'But what is your servant—a
lowly
dog—that he could do this great thing?' And Elisha answered, 'The
Lord
has shown me that you
will be
king over Aram.'
14
So he left Elisha and came to his master, who said to him, 'What did Elisha say to you?' And he answered, 'He told me that you would certainly recover.'
King James Version
Chapter 8
9
So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
10
And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the
Lord
hath shewed me that he shall surely die.
11
And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.

Chapter 8
9
Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift: forty camel-loads of all the finest products of Damascus. When he came and stood before him, he said, "Your son, King Ben-hadad of Aram, has sent me to ask you, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’"
10
Elisha told him, "Go say to him, ‘You are sure to recover.’ But the
Lord
has shown me that he is sure to die."
11
Then he stared steadily at him until he was ashamed. The man of God wept,
12
and Hazael asked, "Why is my lord weeping?" He replied, "Because I know the evil you will do to the people of Israel. You will set their fortresses on fire. You will kill their young men with the sword. You will dash their children to pieces. You will rip open their pregnant women."
13
Hazael said, "How could your servant, a mere dog, do such a mighty deed?" Elisha answered, "The
Lord
has shown me that you will be king over Aram."
14
Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, "What did Elisha say to you?" He responded, "He told me you are sure to recover."
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
9
So Hazael loaded down forty camels with the finest products of Damascus as a gift for Elisha. He went to him and said, 'Your servant Ben-hadad, the king of Aram, has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’'
10
And Elisha replied, 'Go and tell him, ‘You will surely recover.’ But actually the
Lord
has shown me that he will surely die!'
11
Elisha stared at Hazael with a fixed gaze until Hazael became uneasy. Then the man of God started weeping.
12
What’s the matter, my lord?' Hazael asked him. Elisha replied, 'I know the terrible things you will do to the people of Israel. You will burn their fortified cities, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little children to the ground, and rip open their pregnant women!'
13
Hazael responded, 'How could a nobody like me ever accomplish such great things?' Elisha answered, 'The
Lord
has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram.'
14
When Hazael left Elisha and went back, the king asked him, 'What did Elisha tell you?' And Hazael replied, 'He told me that you will surely recover.'

Chapter 8
9
Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him as a gift forty camel-loads of all the finest wares of Damascus. He went in and stood before him, and said, "Your son Ben-Hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’ "
10
Elisha answered, "Go and say to him, ‘You will certainly recover.’ Nevertheless, the
Lord
has revealed to me that he will in fact die."
11
He stared at him with a fixed gaze until Hazael was embarrassed. Then the man of God began to weep.
12
"Why is my lord weeping?" asked Hazael. "Because I know the harm you will do to the Israelites," he answered. "You will set fire to their fortified places, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little children to the ground, and rip open their pregnant women."
13
Hazael said, "How could your servant, a mere dog, accomplish such a feat?" "The
Lord
has shown me that you will become king of Aram," answered Elisha.
14
Then Hazael left Elisha and returned to his master. When Ben-Hadad asked, "What did Elisha say to you?" Hazael replied, "He told me that you would certainly recover."

10
And Elisha said to him, “Go, say to him, ‘You shall certainly recover.’ However the
Lord
has shown me that he will really die.”
11
Then he set his countenance in a stare until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept.
12
And Hazael said, “Why is my lord weeping?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: Their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword; and you will dash their children, and rip open their women with child.”
13
So Hazael said, “But what
is
your servant—a dog, that he should do this gross thing?” And Elisha answered, “The
Lord
has shown me that you
will become
king over Syria.”
14
Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he answered, “He told me you would surely recover.”
