1 Kings 20:26-30

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.
