2 Kings 8:12-13
New International Version
12 “Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael.
“Because I know the harm(A) you will do to the Israelites,” he answered. “You will set fire to their fortified places, kill their young men with the sword, dash(B) their little children(C) to the ground, and rip open(D) their pregnant women.”
13 Hazael said, “How could your servant, a mere dog,(E) accomplish such a feat?”
“The Lord has shown me that you will become king(F) of Aram,” answered Elisha.

13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
