1 Kings 20:23-26

23And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, "Their gods are gods of the hills, and so they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.

24And do this: remove the kings, each from his post, and put commanders in their places,

25and muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they." And he listened to their voice and did so.

26In the spring, Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
