Compare all
5 Now it happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, that there was the woman whose son he had arestored to life, appealing to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.”  
6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed a certain officer for her, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the land until now.”

Death of Ben-Hadad

7 Then Elisha went to Damascus, and aBen-Hadad king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, “The man of God has come here.”  
8 And the king said to aHazael, b“Take a present in your hand, and go to meet the man of God, and cinquire of the Lord by him, saying, ‘Shall I recover from this disease?’ ”  
9 So aHazael went to meet him and took a present with him, of every good thing of Damascus, forty camel-loads; and he came and stood before him, and said, “Your son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Shall I recover from this disease?’ ”  
10 And Elisha said to him, “Go, say to him, ‘You shall certainly recover.’ However the Lord has shown me that ahe will really die.”  
11 Then he1 set his countenance in a stare until he was ashamed; and the man of God awept.  
12 And Hazael said, “Why is my lord weeping?” He answered, “Because I know athe evil that you will do to the children of Israel: Their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword; and you bwill dash their children, and rip open their women with child.”
