• “Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing?” One senses more than one is able to prove, in the presence of this hypocritical and closed nature, that the destruction of Israel is an important thing to Hazael. It is easy for him to give himself the role of a dog when it is a matter of doing this, but nonetheless he has the ambition to accomplish it. (“Ben-Hadad and Hazael: 2 Kings 8:7-15” by H.L. Rossier)
