2 Kings 8:12-14

Tree of Life Version

¹² When Hazael asked, “Why is my lord weeping?” he answered, “Because I know the evil that you will inflict on the men of Israel: their strongholds you will set on fire, their young men you will slay with the sword, their little ones you will dash into pieces, and their pregnant ones you will rip open.”

¹³ Then Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do anything of such magnitude?”

Elisha answered, “Adonai has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”

¹⁴ Then he departed from Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha say to you?”

He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
