¹⁷ It shall come about, the ^(A)one who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu ^(B)shall put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall put to death.

¹² Hazael said, “Why does my lord weep?” Then he ^[a]answered, “Because ^(A)I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel: their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and their little ones you ^(B)will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up.”

³² In those days the ^(A)Lord began to cut off portions ^[a]from Israel; and ^(B)Hazael ^[b]defeated them throughout the territory of Israel: ³³ from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites and the Reubenites and the Manassites, from ^(C)Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even ^(D)Gilead and Bashan.
