Easy-to-Read Version

Ben-Hadad Sends Hazael to Elisha

⁷ Elisha went to Damascus. King Ben-Hadad of Aram was sick. Someone told Ben-Hadad, “The man of God has come here.”

⁸ Then the King Ben-Hadad said to Hazael, “Take a gift and go meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord if I will get well from my sickness.”

⁹ So Hazael went to meet Elisha. Hazael brought a gift with him. He brought all kinds of good things from Damascus. It took 40 camels to carry everything. Hazael came to Elisha and said, “Your follower,^[a] King Ben-Hadad of Aram, sent me to you. He asks if he will get well from his sickness.”
