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.
