12When Ben-hadad heardH8085 thisH2088 messageH1697, as 1he was drinkingH8354 2with the kingsH4428 in the 3temporaryH5521 sheltersH5521, he saidH559 to his servantsH5650, “StationH7760 yourselves.” So they stationedH7760 themselves againstH5921 the cityH5892.

13Now beholdH2009, a prophetH5030 approachedH5066 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘Have you seenH7200 allH3605 thisH2088 greatH1419 multitudeH1995? BeholdH2009, 4I will deliverH5414 them into your handH3027 todayH3117, and 5you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.’” 14AhabH256 saidH559, “By whomH4310?” So he saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘By the youngH5288 menH5288 of the rulersH8269 of the provincesH4082.’” Then he saidH559, “WhoH4310 shall 6beginH631 the battleH4421?” And he 7answeredH559, “You.” 15Then he musteredH6485 the youngH5288 menH5288 of the rulersH8269 of the provincesH4082, and there were 232H3967H8147H7970; and afterH310 them he musteredH6485 allH3605 the peopleH5971, even allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 7,000H7651H505.

16They wentH3318 out at noonH6672, while 8Ben-hadadH1130 was drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the 9temporaryH5521 sheltersH5521 10with the thirty-twoH7970H8147 kingsH4428 who helpedH5826 him.
