12 And Hazael said, “Why does my lord weep?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the people of Israel. You will set on fire their fortresses, and you will ^ckill their young men with the sword and ^ddash in pieces their little ones and rip open their pregnant women.”

32 In those days the Lord began to cut off parts of Israel. ^wHazael defeated them throughout the territory of Israel:

3 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them continually into the hand of ^rHazael king of Syria and into the hand of ^sBen-hadad the son of Hazael.

22 Now Hazael king of Syria ^goppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
