2 Kings 8:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He settled his countenance stedfastly; the prophet fixed his eyes upon Hazael. Until he was ashamed; either till the prophet was ashamed to look any longer upon him; or till Hazael was ashamed, as apprehending that the prophet suspected or discerned something extraordinary and of an evil and shameful nature in him. The Hebrew words are ambiguous, and may indifferently be referred to either of them; but they seem more properly to belong to Hazael, because it follows, by way of distinction, the man of God wept.

2 Kings 8:11

11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly,b until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
