¹² Hazael said, “Why does my lord weep?” Then he ^[a]answered, “Because ^(A)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 ^(B)will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up.”

^17 (A)Therefore He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm; He gave them all into his hand.
