1 Kings 20:22-38

22And the prophetH5030 cameH5927 near to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto him, GoH5927, strengthenH2388 thyself, and mark, and seeH7200 what thou doest; for at the returnH8666 of the yearH8141 the kingH4428 of Syria will comeH5927 up against thee. 23And the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 of Syria saidH559 unto him, Their godH430 is a godH430 of the hillsH2022; thereforeH3651 they were strongerH2388 than we: but let us fightH3898 against them in the plainH4334, and surely we shall be strongerH2388 than they. 24And do this thingH1697: take the kingsH4428 awayH5493, every manH376 out of his placeH4725, and putH7760 captains in their roomH4725; 25and numberH4487 thee an armyH2428, like the armyH2428 that thou hast lost, horseH5483 for horseH5483, and chariotH7393 for chariotH7393; and we will fightH3898 against them in the plainH4334, and surely we shall be strongerH2388 than they. And he hearkened unto their voiceH6963, and did soH3651.

26And it came to pass at the returnH8666 of the yearH8141, that Ben-hadadH1130 musteredH6485 the Syrians, and wentH5927 up to AphekH663, to fight against IsraelH3478. 27And the children of IsraelH3478 were musteredH6485, and were victualled, and went against them: and the children of IsraelH3478 encampedH2583 before them like twoH8147 little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filledH4390 the country. 28And a manH376 of GodH430 came near and spake unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Because the Syrians have saidH559, Jehovah is a godH430 of the hillsH2022, but he is not a godH430 of the valleysH6010; therefore will I deliver all this greatH1419 multitudeH1995 into thy handH3027, and ye shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah. 29And they encampedH2583 oneH259 over against the other sevenH7651 daysH3117. And so it wasH1961, that in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 the battleH4421 wasH1961 joined; and the children of IsraelH3478 slew of the Syrians a hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmen in oneH259 dayH3117. 30But the rest fledH5127 to AphekH663, into the cityH5892; and the wallH2346 fellH5307 upon twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 menH376 that were leftH3498. And Ben-hadadH1130 fledH5127, and cameH935 into the cityH5892, into an innerH2315 chamberH2315.

31And his servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Behold now, we have heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are merciful kingsH4428: let us, we pray thee, putH7760 sackclothH8242 on our loinsH4975, and ropesH2256 upon our headsH7218, and goH3318 out to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will save thy lifeH5315. 32So they girdedH2296 sackclothH8242 on their loinsH4975, and put ropesH2256 on their headsH7218, and cameH935 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, Thy servantH5650 Ben-hadadH1130 saith, I pray thee, let me liveH2421. And he saidH559, Is he yetH5750 aliveH2416? he is my brotherH251. 33Now the menH376 observed diligently, and hasted to catch whether it were his mind; and they saidH559, Thy brotherH251 Ben-hadadH1130. Then he saidH559, GoH3318 ye, bringH935 him. Then Ben-hadadH1130 cameH935 forthH3318 to him; and he caused him to comeH935 up into the chariotH4818. 34And Ben-hadad saidH559 unto him, The citiesH5892 which my fatherH1 tookH3947 from thy fatherH1 I will restoreH7725; and thou shalt makeH7760 streetsH2351 for thee in DamascusH1834, as my fatherH1 madeH3772 in SamariaH8111. And I, saidH559 Ahab, will let thee goH7971 with this covenantH1285. So he madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and let him goH7971.

35And a certain manH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 unto his fellow by the wordH1697 of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. And the manH376 refusedH3985 to smite him. 36Then saidH559 he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voiceH6963 of Jehovah, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lionH738 shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lionH738 foundH4672 him, and slew him. 37Then he foundH4672 another manH376, and saidH559, Smite me, I pray thee. And the manH376 smote him, smiting and wounding him. 38So the prophetH5030 departed, and waited for the kingH4428 by the wayH1870, and disguisedH2664 himself with his headband over his eyesH5869.
