So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

So Hazael went to visit him and brought a gift with him. The gift was full of good things from Damascus, enough to load forty camels. He arrived and stood in front of him and said, "Your son Benhadad, the king of Syria, sent me to you asking, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
