"And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept."
— 2 Kings 8:11, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.”
“And he settled his countenance stedfastly upon him, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept. ”
“He settled his gaze steadfastly [on him], until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.”
“Elisha just stared at him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the prophet started crying.”
“And he stood with him, and was troubled so far as to blush: and the man of God wept.”
“And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.”
And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben–hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely die.
And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.
