7Elisha came to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad, the king of Aram, was sick. It was reported to him, "The man of God has come all the way here."
8The king said to Hazael, "Take a gift in your hand, go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD through him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
9Hazael went to meet him, taking a gift in his hand that included all the finest products of Damascus, loaded on forty camels. When he came, he stood before him and said, "Your son, Ben-Hadad, the king of Aram, has sent me to ask, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
