1 Kings 20:2-7
2And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, into the cityH5892, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad, 3Thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is mine; thy wivesH802 also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. 4And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 answered and saidH559, It is according to thy sayingH559, my lordH113, O kingH4428; I am thine, and all that I have. 5And the messengersH4397 came again, and saidH559, ThusH3541 speaketh Ben-hadadH1130, sayingH559, I sentH7971 indeed unto thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt deliver me thy silverH3701, and thy goldH2091, and thy wivesH802, and thy children; 6but I will sendH7971 my servantsH5650 unto thee to-morrow about this timeH6256, and they shall searchH2664 thy houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of thy servantsH5650; and it shall beH1961, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyesH5869, they shall putH7760 it in their handH3027, and takeH3947 it awayH7971.
7Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 all the eldersH2205 of the landH776, and saidH559, Mark, I pray you, and seeH7200 how this manH2205 seeketh mischief: for he sentH7971 unto me for my wivesH802, and for my children, and for my silverH3701, and for my goldH2091; and I denied him not.
