God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 20:32-34
32So they dressed in sackcloth and put ropes around their necks. They went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Benhadad says, ‘Please let me live.’ ” Ahab asked, “He’s still alive? He’s my brother.”
33The men, watching for a good sign, were quick to take him at his word. “Benhadad is your brother,” they said. Ahab said, “Bring him here.” When Benhadad arrived, Ahab had him come up on the chariot with him.
34Benhadad told him, “I will give back the towns my father took from your father. You may set up trading centers in Damascus as my father did in Samaria.” Ahab said, “If you will put this into a treaty, I will let you go.” So Ahab made a treaty with Benhadad and let him go.
