Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 8:12

12 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel : their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.

So here was a double cause of his Grief and Tears, the evil of sin in Hazael: and the evil of suffering upon Israel.
