It took about 20 minutes to read this passage. There are many times mentioned in the Bible where God comissions a person or nation to punish Israel. Here is one of those cases; when Elisha annoints Hazel to rule Aram. As God's prophet commissions this new king God also reveals to Elisha all the abuse that Hazel will heap on Israel. To horror moved Elisha to tears. He may have wondered why God was moving in that direction with this man, but he didn't record such a concern. This passage is a reminder that God will seek to use us for his Kingdom.
