12 At this Hazʹa·el said: “Why is my lord weeping?” To this he said: “Because I well know what injury+ you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified places you will consign to the fire, and their choice men you will kill with the sword, and their children you will dash to pieces,+ and their pregnant women you will rip up.”+

14 And Jeʹhu+ the son of Je·hoshʹa·phat the son of Nimʹshi+ proceeded to conspire+ against Je·hoʹram.*

And Je·hoʹram himself had happened to be keeping guard at Raʹmoth-gilʹe·ad,+ he with all Israel, because of Hazʹa·el+ the king of Syria.

32 In those days Jehovah started to cut off Israel piece by piece; and Hazʹa·el+ kept striking them in all the territory of Israel,

3 And Jehovah’s anger+ became hot against Israel, so that he gave them into the hand of Hazʹa·el+ the king of Syria and into the hand of Ben-haʹdad+ the son of Hazʹa·el all their days.
