13 And Hazael said, “What is your servant, (A)who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?” Elisha answered, (B)“The Lord has shown me that you are to be king over Syria.” 14 Then he departed from Elisha and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he answered, “He told me (C)that you would certainly recover.” 15 But the next day he took the bed cloth[a] and dipped it in water and spread it over his face, till he died. And Hazael became king in his place.

2 Kings 8:13-15
New International Version
13 Hazael said, “How could your servant, a mere dog,(A) accomplish such a feat?”
“The Lord has shown me that you will become king(B) of Aram,” answered Elisha.
14 Then Hazael left Elisha and returned to his master. When Ben-Hadad asked, “What did Elisha say to you?” Hazael replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.” 15 But the next day he took a thick cloth, soaked it in water and spread it over the king’s face, so that he died.(C) Then Hazael succeeded him as king.
