Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 8:11

"And he settled his countenance stedfastly [upon him], until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept." — 2 Kings 8:11 (ASV)

And he settled his countenance stedfastly. — Literally, and he (Elisha) made his face stand, and set (it upon Hazael).

Until he was ashamed. — Literally, until being ashamed. This may mean either in shameless fashion or until Hazael was disconcerted. We prefer the latter. Hazael, conscious that Elisha had read his thoughts correctly, shrank from that piercing gaze (Compare to 2 Kings 2:17).
