2 Reyes 8:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:9

So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him
As was usual when a prophet or seer was consulted, see ( 1 Samuel 9:7 )

even of every good thing of Damascus;
which was a very fruitful place, and had abundance of gardens and orchards in it, which yielded excellent fruit, and of such it is probable the present consisted, and which was large:

even forty camels' burden:
which, as they are strong creatures, will bear a great deal. Abarbinel thinks, bread, flesh, and wine, and fowls, were in the present, but not gold, silver, and raiment, which the prophet had refused to take of Naaman; the Jews have a fable, that there was a precious stone in it, worth all the good things of Damascus:

and came and stood before him, and said, thy son Benhadad, king of
Syria, hath sent me to thee, saying, shall I recover of this disease?
he calls him his son, in veneration of the prophet as a father, as such men were called.

7 Hazael mata a Ben-adad
Luego Eliseo fue a Damasco, la capital de Aram, donde el rey Ben-adad estaba enfermo. Cuando alguien le informĂł al rey que el hombre de Dios habĂ­a llegado,
8 el rey le dijo a Hazael: «Llévale un regalo al hombre de Dios. Luego dile que le pregunte al Señor
: “¿Voy a recuperarme de esta enfermedad?”».
9 Entonces Hazael cargĂł cuarenta camellos con los mejores productos de Damasco para regalarle a Eliseo. Fue a verlo y le dijo:
—Tu siervo Ben-adad, rey de Aram, me ha enviado a preguntarte: “¿Voy a recuperarme de esta enfermedad?”.
10 Eliseo contestĂł:
—Ve y dile: “Ciertamente te recuperarás”. ¡Pero la verdad es que el Señor
me ha mostrado que morirá!
11 Eliseo se quedĂł mirando a Hazael
tan fijamente que Hazael se sintiĂł incĂłmodo.
AsĂ­ que el hombre de Dios se puso a llorar.
