2 Kings 8:11-13
International Children’s Bible
11 Elisha stared at Hazael until Hazael felt ashamed. Then Elisha cried.
12 Hazael asked, “Why are you crying, master?”
Elisha answered, “Because I know what evil you will do to the Israelites. You will burn their strong, walled cities with fire. You will kill their young men with swords. You will throw their babies to the ground. You will split open their pregnant women.”
13 Hazael said, “I, your servant, am only a dog. How could I do such things?”
Elisha answered, “The Lord has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”

New International Version
11 He stared at him with a fixed gaze until Hazael was embarrassed.(A) Then the man of God began to weep.(B)
12 “Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael.
“Because I know the harm(C) you will do to the Israelites,” he answered. “You will set fire to their fortified places, kill their young men with the sword, dash(D) their little children(E) to the ground, and rip open(F) their pregnant women.”
13 Hazael said, “How could your servant, a mere dog,(G) accomplish such a feat?”
“The Lord has shown me that you will become king(H) of Aram,” answered Elisha.
