1 Kings 20:17-21

17And the young officersH5288 of the districtH4082 governorsH8269 marched out firstH3318H7223.

Now Ben-hadadH1130 had sent out scoutsH7971, who reportedH5046 to him, “MenH582 are marching outH3318 of SamariaH8111.”

18“IfH518 they have marched outH3318 in peaceH7965,” he saidH559, “take themH8610 aliveH2416. Even ifH518 they have marched outH3318 for warH4421, take themH8610 aliveH2416.”

19Meanwhile, theseH428 young officersH5288 of the districtH4082 governorsH8269 marched outH3318 ofH4480 the cityH5892, with the armyH2428 behind themH310, 20and eachH376 one struck downH5221 his opponentH376. So the ArameansH758 fledH5127, with the IsraelitesH3478 in pursuitH7291. But Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of AramH758 escapedH4422 onH5921 horsebackH5483 with the cavalryH6571.

21Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 marched outH3318 and attackedH5221 the horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, inflictingH5221 a greatH1419 slaughterH4347 on the ArameansH758.
