以利沙對哈薛說：「你回去告訴他說，這病必能好；但耶和華指示我，他必要死。」 ……哈薛離開以利沙，回去見他的主人。主人問他說：「以利沙對你說甚麼？」回答說：「他告訴我你必能好。」 次日，哈薛拿被窩浸在水中，蒙住王的臉，王就死了。於是哈薛篡了他的位。 列王紀下 8:10, 14-15
Elisha answered, ‘Go back to him. Say to him, “Surely, you will get well after your illness.” But the Lord has shown to me that he will surely die.’ ……Then Hazael left Elisha and Hazael returned to his master the king. Ben-Hadad asked him, ‘What did Elisha say to you?’ Hazael replied, ‘He told me that you will surely get well.’ But the next day, Hazael took a thick cloth. He filled it with water. Then he put it over the king’s face until he died. So Hazael became king after Ben-Hadad. 2 Kings 8:10, 14-15
