2 Kings 8:13 in Context — 2 Kings 8

11 E o homem de Deus lhe voltou o rosto fixamente, até o deixar desconcertado; então o homem de Deus chorou.

12 Então disse-lhe Hazael: Por que o meu senhor chora? E ele respondeu: Porque sei o mal que farás aos filhos de Israel; porás fogo às suas fortalezas, matarás à espada os seus rapazes, despedaçarás as suas crianças, e rasgarás o ventredas suas grávidas.

13 E Hazael disse: O que é o teu servo, um cão, para que ele faça esta grande coisa? E respondeu Eliseu: o SENHOR me mostrou que tu serás rei da Síria.

14 E ele se partiu de Eliseu, e veio a seu senhor, o qual lhe disse: Que te disse Eliseu? E ele respondeu: Disse-me que seguramente viverás.

15 O dia seguinte tomou um pano grosso, e meteu-o em água, e estendeu-os sobre o rosto de Ben-Hadade, e morreu: e reinou Hazael em seu lugar.
