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.”

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.”  ‡

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.”  ‡
