1 Kings 20:5-9

5And the messengersH4397 came again, and saidH559, ThusH3541 speaks Ben-HadadH1130 sayingH559: I sentH7971 to thee indeed, sayingH559, Thou shalt deliver me thy silverH3701, and thy goldH2091, and thy wivesH802, and thy children;

6but to-morrow about this timeH6256 I will sendH7971 my servantsH5650 to thee, and they shall searchH2664 thy houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of thy servantsH5650; and it shall beH1961, that whatsoever is pleasant in thy sight, they shall putH7760 in their handH3027 and takeH3947 awayH7971.

7And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 all the eldersH2205 of the landH776 and saidH559, Mark, I pray you, and seeH7200 how this [manH2205] seeksH1245 mischief; for he sentH7971 to me for my wivesH802, and for my children, and for my silverH3701, and for my goldH2091; and I denied him not.

8And all the eldersH2205 and all the peopleH5971 saidH559 to him, Hearken not, nor consent.

9And he saidH559 to the messengersH4397 of Ben-HadadH1130, Tell my lordH113 the kingH4428, All that thou didst sendH7971 for to thy servantH5650 at the firstH7223 I will do; but this thingH1697 I cannot do. And the messengersH4397 departed, and broughtH7725 him wordH1697 again.
