Chapter 8

KJV - 2 Kings 8:12

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.

Hazael asked his lord, "Why are you crying?" The lord replied, "I'm sad because I know you will do bad things to the people of Israel. You will burn their strong places, kill their young men with swords, and hurt their pregnant women and children."
