Contextual Overview
7 Some time later Elisha went to the capital city of Damascus to visit King Benhadad of Syria, who was sick. And when Benhadad was told he was there, 8 he said to Hazael, "Go meet with Elisha the man of God and have him ask the Lord if I will get well. And take along a gift for him." 9 Hazael left with forty camel loads of the best things made in Damascus as a gift for Elisha. He found the prophet and said, "Your servant, King Benhadad, wants to know if he will get well." 10 "Tell him he will," Elisha said to Hazael. "But the Lord has already told me that Benhadad will definitely die." 11 Elisha stared at him until Hazael was embarrassed, then Elisha began crying. 12 "Sir, why are you crying?" Hazael asked. Elisha answered, "Because I know the terrible things you will do to the people of Israel. You will burn down their walled cities and slaughter their young men. You will even crush the heads of their babies and rip open their pregnant women." 13 "How could I ever do anything like that?" Hazael replied. "I'm only a servant and don't have that kind of power." "Hazael, the Lord has told me that you will be the next king of Syria." 14 Hazael went back to Benhadad and told him, "Elisha said that you will get well." 15 But the very next day, Hazael got a thick blanket; he soaked it in water and held it over Benhadad's face until he died. Hazael then became king.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master,.... Benhadad king of Syria:
who said to him, what said Elisha to thee? concerning his recovery, which was the thing uppermost in his mind, and he was eagerly desirous to know how it would be:
and he answered, he told me that thou shouldest surely recover; which was false; for he only said that he "might", and not that he should; and he concealed what he also declared, that though he might recover of his disease, yet that he should surely die in another way.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hazael omitted the clause by which Elisha had shown how those words were to be understood. He thus deceived his master, while he could flatter himself that he had not uttered a lie.
