Hazael left Elisha and went to his master Benhadad, who asked him what Elisha had said. Hazael answered, “He told me that you will get better.”
He went and stood in front of his master. Elisha asked him, “Where were you, Gehazi?” “I didn’t go anywhere,” he answered.
Elisha replied, “Tell him that he will get better, although the Lord has shown me that he is actually going to die.”
But the next day Hazael took a blanket, soaked it in water, and smothered the king with it. Hazael ruled as king in his place.
From then on, he looked for a chance to betray Jesus.
