8 The king said to Hazael, |Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'|

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, |Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'|

10 Elisha said to him, |Go, tell him, 'You shall surely recover;' however Yahweh has shown me that he shall surely die.|

11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.

12 Hazael said, |Why do you weep, my lord?| He answered, |Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.|
