Elisha Predicts Evil from Hazael
7 Then Elisha came to (A)Damascus. Now (B)Ben-hadad, the king of Aram, was sick, and it was told to him, saying, “(C)The man of God has come here.” 8 And the king said to (D)Hazael, “(E)Take a gift in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and (F)inquire of the Lord by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” 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, “(G)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, “(H)Go, say to him, ‘You will certainly recover’; but the (I)Lord has shown me that he will certainly die.”
