2 Kings 8:7-10
Hazael Murders Ben-hadad
7Now Elisha came to aDamascus. bBen-hadad the king of Syria was sick. And when it was told him, “The man of God has come here,” 8the king said to cHazael, d“Take a present with you and go to meet the man of God, eand inquire of the Lord through him, saying, ‘Shall I recover from this sickness?’” 9So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, all kinds of goods of Damascus, forty camels’ loads. When he came and stood before him, he said, f“Your son Ben-hadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Shall I recover from this sickness?’” 10And Elisha said to him, g“Go, say to him, ‘You shall certainly recover,’ but ▼▼Some manuscripts say, ‘You shall certainly not recover,’ for
the Lord has shown me that ihe shall certainly die.”
