1 Kings 20:1-6
1King Benhadad of Aram gathered together his whole army. With him were 32 kings along with their horses and chariots. He went to blockade Samaria and fight against it.
2He sent messengers into the city to King Ahab of Israel. They told Ahab, “This is what Benhadad says:
3Your silver and gold are mine. Your beloved wives and children are mine.”
4The king of Israel answered, “As you say, Your Majesty. I and everything I have are yours.”
5But Benhadad sent messengers back ⌞to Ahab⌟. They said, “Benhadad has sent this message to you: ‘Your silver, gold, wives, and children are mine. Give ⌞them to me⌟.
6At this time tomorrow I’m going to send my servants to search your palace and your servants’ houses. They will take anything that you consider valuable.’ ”
