1 Kings 20:1-6
1Now 1Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army, 2and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and 3besieged Samaria and fought against it. 2Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Thus says Ben-hadad, 3‘Your silver and your gold are mine; your most beautiful wives and children are also mine.’” 4The king of Israel replied, “It is according to your word, my lord, O king; I am yours, and all that I have.” 5Then the messengers returned and said, “Thus says 4Ben-hadad, ‘Surely, I sent to you saying, “You shall give me your silver and your gold and your wives and your children,” 6but about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants; and 5whatever is desirable in your eyes, they will 6take in their hand and carry away.’”
