Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:008:002 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of
God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the
land of the Philistines seven years.
12:008:003 And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman
returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went
forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
12:008:004 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God,
saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha
hath done.
12:008:005 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had
restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose
son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house
and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is
the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
12:008:006 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king
appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that
was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that
she left the land, even until now.
12:008:007 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria
was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come
hither.
12:008:008 And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand,
and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him,
saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
12:008:009 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even
of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and
came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of
Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this
disease?
12:008:010 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest
certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he
shall surely die.
12:008:011 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was
ashamed: and the man of God wept.
12:008:012 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 strong holds 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.
12:008:013 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he
should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath
shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
12:008:014 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.
