- Ivit igitur Hazaël in occursum ejus, habens secum munera, et omnia bona Damasci, onera quadraginta camelorum. Cumque stetisset coram eo, ait : Filius tuus Benadad rex Syriæ misit me ad te, dicens : Si sanari potero de infirmitate mea hac ?

- καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἁζαὴλ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλαβεν μαανὰ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγαθὰ Δαμασκοῦ, ἄρσιν τεσσεράκοντα καμήλων, δῶρα· καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ἐλεισαῖε Υἱός σου υἱὸς Ἁδὲρ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἀπέστειλέν με πρὸς σὲ ἐπερωτῆσαι λέγων Εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας μου ταύτης;

Haydock's commentary
Camels. It does not appear that Eliseus rejected these presents. (Menochius)
Thy son. The kings of Israel and Juda styled the prophet father, and this title was given by Christians of antiquity to bishops and priests.
