Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Chazael in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, references to Chazael in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use a transliteration of the Hebrew name.

Usage: Chazael is a proper noun used as a masculine name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Aram (Syria).

Context: Chazael was a significant figure in the Old Testament, known for his role as the king of Aram (Syria). His story is primarily found in the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings. Chazael's rise to power was foretold by the prophet Elisha, who anointed him as king over Aram. This event is recorded in 2 Kings 8:13, where Chazael expresses disbelief at the prophecy, saying, "But what is your servant, a mere dog, that he should do such a monstrous thing?" Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown me that you will become king over Aram."

Chazael's reign was marked by his military campaigns against Israel. He was a formidable adversary to the kings of Israel, including Jehoram and Jehu. His aggressive expansion and warfare are noted in 2 Kings 10:32, which states, "In those days the LORD began to reduce the size of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory."

Chazael's impact extended beyond his military conquests. His actions fulfilled the divine judgment pronounced against the house of Ahab, as he was instrumental in weakening Israel during his reign. Despite his role as an adversary, Chazael's story underscores the theme of divine sovereignty and the fulfillment of prophetic words.
