1 Kings 20:7-9

7Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, “Please observe and 1see how this man is looking for trouble; for he sent to me for my wives and my children and my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him.”

8All the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen or consent.”

9So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” And the messengers departed and brought him word again.
