- so that he died - Hazael put a wet blanket over king Benhadad's face. Benhadad was unable to breathe through it, and so he died. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_explicitinfo)
- Then Hazael became king in his place - As Elisha had prophesied, Hazael became the king of Aram after Benhadad was dead.
