Entry: Benhadad king of Syria, being sick, sends Hazael to Elisha, and Hazael reigns in his place (event-2ki-8-benhadad-sends-hazael-to-elisha)
Address: https://bibliadatum.org/en/wiki/event/2ki-8-benhadad-sends-hazael-to-elisha
Current wording: 2 Kings 8:7–15: Elisha comes to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He is told, “The man of God has come here.” The king says to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” So Hazael goes to meet him and takes a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and comes and stands before him and says, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’” Elisha says to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however the LORD has shown me that he will surely die.” The text says, “He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.” Hazael says, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answers, “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.” Hazael says, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answers, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.” Then he departs from Elisha, and comes to his master, who says to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answers, “He told me that you would surely recover.” The text says, “On 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.” The Korean Revised Version has someone tell the king at 8:7 (혹이 왕에게 고하여), where WEB reads “He was told”; at 8:10 it gives the message in the third person, 왕이 정녕 나으리라, the king will surely recover, where WEB reads “You will surely recover”; at 8:11 it reads 하나님의 사람이 저가 부끄러워하기까지 쏘아보다가 우니, the man of God stared until he was ashamed, and wept; at 8:12 it reads 저희 성에 불을 놓으며, set their cities on fire, where WEB reads “set their strongholds on fire”; and at 8:15 it names Hazael as the one who dipped the cloth in water and spread it on the king’s face (하사엘이 이불을 물에 적시어), where WEB says “he”.
