1 Kings 20:31-34

311His servants said to him, “Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings, please let us 2put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save your 3life.” 32So 4they girded sackcloth on their loins and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, “5Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” And he said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.” 33Now the men 6took this as an omen, and quickly 7catching his word said, “Your brother Ben-hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he 8took him up into the chariot. 34Ben-hadad said to him, “9The cities which my father took from your father I will restore, and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” Ahab said, “And I will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
