2 Kings 8:8-10

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ So the king said to Hazael,^(A) “Take a gift^(B) with you and go meet the man of God. Inquire of the Lord through him, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”^(C)

⁹ Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift: 40 camel-loads of all kinds of goods from Damascus. When he came and stood before him, he said, “Your son,^(D) Ben-hadad king of Aram, has sent me to ask you, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”

¹⁰ Elisha told him, “Go say to him, ‘You are sure to^[a] recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that he is sure to die.”
