Listen to 2 Reis 8:9
9 Hazael foi encontrar-se com Eliseu, levando consigo de tudo o que havia de melhor em Damasco, um presente carregado por quarenta camelos. Ao chegar diante dele, Hazael disse: “Teu filho Ben-Hadade, rei da Síria, enviou-me para perguntar se ele vai recuperar-se da sua doença”.

2 Reis 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.

2 Reis 8:9 In-Context

7 Certa ocasião, Eliseu foi a Damasco. Ben-Hadade, rei da Síria, estava doente. Quando disseram ao rei: “O homem de Deus está na cidade”,
8 ele ordenou a Hazael: “Vá encontrar-se com o homem de Deus e leve-lhe um presente. Consulte o SENHOR por meio dele; pergunte-lhe se vou me recuperar desta doença”.
9 Hazael foi encontrar-se com Eliseu, levando consigo de tudo o que havia de melhor em Damasco, um presente carregado por quarenta camelos. Ao chegar diante dele, Hazael disse: “Teu filho Ben-Hadade, rei da Síria, enviou-me para perguntar se ele vai recuperar-se da sua doença”.
10 Eliseu respondeu: “Vá e diga-lhe: ‘Com certeza te recuperarás’, no entanto o SENHOR me revelou que de fato ele vai morrer”.
11 Eliseu ficou olhando fixamente para Hazael até deixá-lo constrangido. Então o homem de Deus começou a chorar.
