2 Kings 8:7-8

Context
Elisha Meets with Hazael

8:7 Elisha traveled to Damascus while King Ben Hadad of Syria was sick. The king 1  was told, “The prophet 2  has come here.” 8:8 So the king told Hazael, “Take a gift 3  and go visit the prophet. Request from him an oracle from the Lord. Ask him, 4  ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “man of God” (also a second time in this verse and in v. 11).

3 tn The Hebrew text also has “in your hand.”

4 tn Heb “Inquire of the Lord through him, saying.”
