હઝાએલે કહ્યું, “તારો સેવક એક કૂતરા તુલ્ય છે, તે કોણ છે કે આવાં કામ કરે?” એલિશાએ કહ્યું, “યહોવાહે મને બતાવ્યું છે કે તું અરામનો રાજા થશે.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं ८:१३

In context

11He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.

12Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”

13Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”

14Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”

15On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
