2 Kings 8:11
"And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And he settled his countenance steadfastly,.... Refrained himself as much as possible, that he might not weep, as some Jewish writers interpret it; or, as others, he turned his face

on one side, and covered it with his hands, that Hazael might not see him weep; or rather he set his face on Hazael, and looked at him so wistly: until he was ashamed; that is, Hazael; the prophet looked him out of countenance: and the man of God wept; at the thought of what calamities the man before him, he looked on, would be the cause of in Israel, as the following words show.
