1 Kings 20:13-28

13Now beholdH2009, a prophetH5030 approachedH5066 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘Have you seenH7200 allH3605 thisH2088 greatH1419 multitudeH1995? BeholdH2009, 1I will deliverH5414 them into your handH3027 todayH3117, and 2you 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 3beginH631 the battleH4421?” And he 4answeredH559, “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 5Ben-hadadH1130 was drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the 6temporaryH5521 sheltersH5521 7with the thirty-twoH7970H8147 kingsH4428 who helpedH5826 him. 17The youngH5288 menH5288 of the rulersH8269 of the provincesH4082 wentH3318 out firstH7223; and Ben-hadadH1130 sentH7971 out and they toldH5046 him, sayingH559, “MenH376 have comeH3318 out from SamariaH8111.” 188Then he saidH559, “IfH518 they have comeH3318 out for peaceH7965, takeH8610 them aliveH2416; or ifH518 they have comeH3318 out for warH4421, takeH8610 them aliveH2416.”

19So theseH428 wentH3318 out from the cityH5892, the youngH5288 menH5288 of the rulersH8269 of the provincesH4082, and the armyH2428 whichH834 followedH310 them. 20They 9killedH5221 eachH376 his manH376; and the ArameansH758 fledH5127 and IsraelH3478 pursuedH7291 them, and Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of AramH758 escapedH4422 on a horseH5483 with horsemenH6571. 21The kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3318 out and 10struckH5221 the horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, and 11killedH5221 the ArameansH758 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347.

22Then 12the prophetH5030 cameH5066 nearH5066 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to him, “GoH1980, strengthenH2388 yourself and observeH3045 and seeH7200 whatH834 you have to doH6213; for 13at the turnH8666 of the yearH8141 the kingH4428 of AramH758 will comeH5927 up againstH5921 you.”

23Now the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 of AramH758 saidH559 to him, “14Their godsH430 are godsH430 of the mountainsH2022, thereforeH5921H3651 they were strongerH2388 thanH4480 we; but ratherH199 let us fightH3898 againstH854 them in the plainH4334, and surelyH518H3808 we will be strongerH2388 thanH4480 they. 24DoH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697: removeH5493 the kingsH4428, eachH376 from his placeH4725, and putH7760 captainsH6346 in their placeH8478, 25and 15musterH4487 an armyH2428 like the armyH2428 that you have lostH5307, horseH5483 for horseH5483, and chariotH7393 for chariotH7393. Then we will fightH3898 againstH854 them in the plainH4334, and surelyH518H3808 we will be strongerH2388 thanH4480 they.” And he listenedH8085 to their voiceH6963 and didH6213 soH3651.

2616At the turnH8666 of the yearH8141, Ben-hadadH1130 musteredH6485 the ArameansH758 and wentH5927 up to 17AphekH663 to fightH4421 againstH5973 IsraelH3478. 27The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were musteredH6485 and were provisionedH3557 and wentH1980 to meetH7122 them; and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 campedH2583 beforeH5048 them like twoH8147 littleH2835 flocksH2835 of goatsH5795, 18but the ArameansH758 filledH4390 the countryH776. 28Then 19a manH376 of GodH430 cameH5066 nearH5066 and spokeH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘BecauseH3282H834 the ArameansH758 have saidH559, “20The LordH3068 is a godH430 of the mountainsH2022, but He is not a godH430 of the valleysH6010,” therefore 21I will giveH5414 allH3605 thisH2088 greatH1419 multitudeH1995 into your handH3027, and you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.’”
