2Ki 8:8-9 | MHM | STEP | v. 8-9 : At this time, Ben-hadad, the king of Syria, was sick. He heard that Elisha was in Damascus and sent Hazael, his top servant, to ask Elisha if he would recover. Hazael brought a large gift—forty camels loaded with the best goods of Damascus—to honor the prophet (2 Kings 8:8-9 ). Even powerful kings cannot escape sickness. In his weakness, Ben-hadad wanted advice from the man of God, even though he had worshipped false gods before.
