Then the man of God began to cry. 12 |Sir, why are you crying?| Hazael asked. Elisha answered, |I know the evil you will do to the Israelites: You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their best young men, smash their little children, and rip open their pregnant women.| 13 But Hazael asked, |How can a dog like me do such a significant thing?| Elisha answered, |The LORD has shown me that you will become king of Aram.| 2 Kings 8:10-13, God's Word Translation.
