2 Kings 8:10-13 ▼

10 Elisha said to him, |Go, say to him, 'You shall surely recover;' however the LORD 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.|

13 Hazael said, |But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?| Elisha answered, |The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram.|
