II Kings 8:7,8

II Kings 8:7,8 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither. And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease? Benhadad, the king of Syria asked Elisha to come up to his capital and tell him if he would recover from his disease or not. Benhadad sent Hazael, his captain out to meet Elisha with all sorts of gifts. Forty camels were loaded down with stuff! Elisha wanted to tell Benhadad that he would get better, but he just couldn’t. That’s because God had revealed to Elisha that Benhadad would not get better. He would die. Captain Hazael would be the next king of Syria and that he would do terrible things to Israel. Elisha told everything to Hazael. And the very next day, Hazael murdered Benhadad and took over the kingdom. Remember, God knows where you are and God knows what the future holds. Follow God and God will lead you.
