2 Kings 8:14 CPDV

¹²  And Hazael said to him, 'Why is my lord weeping?' And he said: 'Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified cities you will burn with fire. And their young men you will kill with the sword. And you will destroy their little ones, and tear open the pregnant women.'

¹³  And Hazael said, 'But what am I, your servant, a dog, that I would do this great thing?' And Elisha said, 'The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.'

¹⁴  And when he had departed from Elisha, he went to his lord, who said to him, 'What did Elisha say to you?' And he responded: 'He said to me, 'You shall receive health.'

¹⁵  And when the next day had arrived, he took a small covering, and poured water on it, and he spread it over his face. And when he died, Hazael reigned in his place.

¹⁶  In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned as the king of Judah.
