    Hebrew
    Is it in the Bible?

    First appears in
    1 Kings — The united and divided kingdom
    Peak US usage
    No recorded United States usage in the 1880–2008 records
    Spiritual meaning
    Hazael — 'God has seen' — couldn't see in himself what God (and Elisha) could see. His story warns that the evil we think we're incapable of may be closer than we imagine. Self-knowledge requires divine light.
