2 Kings 8:14
Compare all
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.”  
13 So Hazael said, “But what ais your servant—a dog, that he should do this gross thing?” And Elisha answered, b“The Lord has shown me that you will become king over Syria.”  
14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he answered, “He told me you would surely recover.”
15 But it happened on the next day that he took a thick cloth and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his place.

Jehoram Reigns in Judah

16 Now ain the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat having been king of Judah, bJehoram the son of Jehoshaphat began to reign as king of Judah.  
17 He was athirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.  
18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for athe daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.  
19 Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah, for the sake of His servant David, aas He promised him to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.  
20 In his days aEdom revolted against Judah’s authority, band made a king over themselves.  
21 So1 Joram went to Zair, and all his chariots with him. Then he rose by night and attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots; and the troops fled to their tents.  
22 Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah’s authority to this day. aAnd Libnah revolted at that time.  
23 Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
