1 Kings 20:12-16

12And when Ben-hadad heard this message, while 1he was drinking 2with the kings in the 3temporary shelters, he said to his servants, “Take your positions.” So they took their positions against the city.

13Now behold, a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, 4I am going to hand them over to you today, and 5you shall know that I am the Lord.’” 14But Ahab said, “By whom?” So he said, “The Lord says this: ‘By the young men of the leaders of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who will begin the battle?” And he said, “You will.” 15So he mustered the young men of the leaders of the provinces, and there were 232; and after them he mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel: seven thousand.

16They went out at noon, while 6Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the 7temporary shelters 8with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.
