And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.
Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be rifled, and their wives ravished.
And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity;
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
