And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>When the king asked the woman, she related <i>it</i> to him. So the king appointed for her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers and all the produce of the field from the day that she left the land even until now.” <p><b><i>Elisha Predicts Evil from Hazael</i></b><p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then Elisha came to Damascus. Now Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and it was told him, saying, “The man of God has come here.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand, even every kind of good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ loads; and he came and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Then Elisha said to him, “Go, say to him, ‘You shall surely recover,’ but the LORD has shown me that he will certainly die.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And he fixed his gaze steadily <i>on him</i> until he was ashamed, and the man of God wept. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>And Hazael said, “Why does my lord weep?” Then he answered, “Because 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 will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then Hazael said, “But what is your servant, <i>who is but</i> a dog, that he should do this great thing?” And Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>So he departed from Elisha and returned to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And it came about on the morrow, that he took the cover and dipped it in water and spread it on his face, so that he died.

And it came about that he arose by night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots; but <i>his</i> army fled to their tents. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>So Edom revolted against Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>And the rest of the acts of Joram and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? <p><b><i>Ahaziah Succeeds Jehoram in Judah</i></b><p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>So Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place. <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Ahaziah <i>was</i> twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name <i>was</i> Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of Ahab <i>had done,</i> because he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Then he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_kings/8-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>So King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was sick.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
