1 Kings 20:16-21

16They went out at noon, while 1Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the 2temporary shelters 3with the thirty-two kings who helped him. 17The young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out and they told him, saying, “Men have come out from Samaria.” 184Then he said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”

19So these went out from the city, the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and the army which followed them. 20They 5killed each his man; and the Arameans fled and Israel pursued them, and Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen. 21The king of Israel went out and 6struck the horses and chariots, and 7killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.
