1 Kings 20:31-33

311His servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, we have heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are mercifulH2617 kingsH4428, pleaseH4994 let us 2putH7760 sackclothH8242 on our loinsH4975 and ropesH2256 on our headsH7218, and goH3318 out to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; perhapsH194 he will saveH2421 your 3lifeH5315.”

32So 4they girdedH2296 sackclothH8242 on their loinsH4975 and put ropesH2256 on their headsH7218, and cameH935 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559, “5Your servantH5650 Ben-hadadH1130 saysH559, ‘PleaseH4994 let me liveH2421.’” And he saidH559, “Is he stillH5750 aliveH2416? He is my brotherH251.”

33Now the menH376 6tookH5172 this as an omenH5172, and quicklyH4116 7catchingH2480 his word saidH559, “Your brotherH251 Ben-hadadH1130.” Then he saidH559, “GoH935, bringH3947 him.” Then Ben-hadadH1130 cameH3318 out to him, and he 8tookH5927 him up into the chariotH4818.
