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.

12:008:015 And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth,
           and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he
           died:  and Hazael reigned in his stead.
