Ahijah was wearing a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the field. 30 Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 Then he said to Jeroboam, 'Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes.' 32 'But one tribe will remain for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.' 33 'For they have forsaken Me and worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, done what is right in My sight, or kept My statutes and judgments as David, his father, did.' 34 'However, I will not take the whole kingdom from him but will allow him to remain ruler all his life for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose and who kept My commands and statutes.' 35 'I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and give you ten tribes.' 36 'But to his son, I will give one tribe, so that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city I have chosen for Myself to put My name there.' 37 I will take you, and you will reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be king over Israel.

    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?'"

    10Elisha said to him, "Go and say to him, 'You will certainly recover,' but the LORD has shown me that he will surely die."

    11Elisha fixed his gaze on him and stared until Hazael was embarrassed. Then the man of God began to weep.

    12Hazael asked, "Why is my lord weeping?" Elisha answered, "Because I know the harm you will do to the people of Israel. You will set their fortresses on fire, you will kill their young men with the sword, you will dash their little ones to pieces, and you will rip open their pregnant women."

    13Hazael said, "How could your servant, a mere dog, accomplish such a great thing?" Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown me that you will become king over Aram."

    14Then Hazael left Elisha and returned to his master, who asked him, "What did Elisha say to you?" Hazael replied, "He told me that you will certainly recover."
