2 Kings 8:12-14

21st Century King James Version

¹² And Hazael said, “Why weepeth my lord?” And he answered, “Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel. Their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.”

¹³ And Hazael said, “But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing?” And Elisha answered, “The Lord hath shown me that thou shalt be king over Syria.”

¹⁴ So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What said Elisha to thee?” And he answered, “He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.”
