And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
Hazael preguntó: '¿Por qué lloras, mi señor?' Eliseo respondió: 'Porque sé las cosas terribles que harás al pueblo de Israel: quemarás sus ciudades fortificadas, matarás a sus jóvenes con la espada, estrellarás a sus niños hasta la muerte, y abrirás a las mujeres embarazadas.'
Eliseo lloró porque sabía la terrible violencia que Hazael traería sobre Israel en el futuro.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of 2 Kings, the prophet Elisha is in Damascus and encounters Hazael, a servant of the Syrian king, whom God has revealed will become the next ruler of Aram. Elisha weeps as he foretells the brutal acts Hazael will commit against Israel, including destroying their fortresses and killing their people, which reflects the ongoing wars and God's judgment on Israel's unfaithfulness during the divided kingdom period. This event is set in the 9th century BC, amid conflicts between Israel and neighboring kingdoms like Aram, highlighting the consequences of human ambition and divine prophecy.
