12 At this Hazʹa·el said: “Why is my lord weeping?” To this he said: “Because I well know what injury+ you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified places you will consign to the fire, and their choice men you will kill with the sword, and their children you will dash to pieces,+ and their pregnant women you will rip up.”+

32 In those days Jehovah started to cut off Israel piece by piece; and Hazʹa·el+ kept striking them in all the territory of Israel,

33 from the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, all the land of Gilʹe·ad,+ the Gadʹites+ and the Reuʹben·ites+ and the Ma·nasʹsites,+ from A·roʹer,+ which is by the torrent valley of Arʹnon, even Gilʹe·ad and Baʹshan.+

7 For he had not left to Je·hoʹa·haz any people but fifty horsemen and ten chariots and ten thousand men on foot,+ because the king of Syria had destroyed them,+ that he might make them like the dust at threshing.+
