2 Kings 8:13-15

Good News Translation

^13 (A)“How could I ever be that powerful?” Hazael asked. “I'm a nobody!”

“The Lord has shown me that you will be king of Syria,” Elisha replied.

¹⁴ Hazael went back to Benhadad, who asked him, “What did Elisha say?”

“He told me that you would certainly get well,” Hazael answered. ¹⁵ But on the following day Hazael took a blanket, soaked it in water, and smothered the king.

And Hazael succeeded Benhadad as king of Syria.
