1 Kings 20:1-3

1Ben-hadad king of Aram (Syria) gathered all his army together; thirty-two kings were [allied] with him, with horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria [Israel’s capital], and fought against it.

2Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel; and he said to him, “Thus says Ben-hadad:

3‘Your silver and your gold are mine; your wives and your children, even the fairest, also are mine [as conditions of peace].’ ”
