1 Kings 20:2-6

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.’ ”
