Ben-Hadad Is Killed

⁷ Then Elisha went to Damascus, where Ben-Hadad king of Aram was sick. Someone told him, “The man of God has ·arrived [come all this way].”

⁸ The king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand and go meet him. ·Ask [Inquire of] the Lord through him if I will recover from my sickness.”

⁹ So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift of forty camels loaded with ·every good thing [the finest wares] in Damascus. He came and stood before Elisha and said, “Your son [^Ca term of respect, not literal] Ben-Hadad king of Aram sent me to you. He asks if he will recover from his sickness.”
