2 KINGS 8:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.”
He departed from Elisha and came to his master, who said to him: "What did Elisha say to you?" He answered: "He told me that you would surely recover." But the next day he took a thick cloth and dipped it in water and spread it over the king's face until he died — Hazael murders Ben-Hadad with calculated deception. The thick cloth (samlah) becomes an instrument of assassination; Hazael's hands accomplish what Elisha prophesied.
