"Elisha just stared at him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the prophet started crying."
— 2 Kings 8:11, NET Bible
“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.”
“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 he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.”
So the king told Hazael,“Take a gift and go visit the prophet. Request from him an oracle from the LORD. Ask him,‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
So Hazael went to visit Elisha. He took along a gift, as well as forty camel loads of all the fine things of Damascus. When he arrived, he stood before him and said,“Your son, King Ben Hadad of Syria, has sent me to you with this question,‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
Elisha said to him,“Go and tell him,‘You will surely recover,’ but the LORD has revealed to me that he will surely die.”
Elisha just stared at him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the prophet started crying.
Hazael asked,“Why are you crying, my master?” He replied,“Because I know the trouble you will cause the Israelites. You will set fire to their fortresses, kill their young men with the sword, smash their children to bits, and rip open their pregnant women.”
Hazael said,“How could your servant, who is as insignificant as a dog, accomplish this great military victory?” Elisha answered,“The LORD has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.”
He left Elisha and went to his master. Ben Hadad asked him,“What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied,“He told me you would surely recover.”
