1 Kings 20:26-30
26So 1at 2the turn of the year Ben-hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to 3Aphek to fight against Israel. 27And the sons of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and they went to meet them; and the sons of Israel camped opposite them like two little flocks of goats, 4while the Arameans filled the country. 28Then 5a man of God approached and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Since the Arameans have said, “6The Lord is a god of mountains, but He is not a god of valleys,” therefore 7I will hand over to you all this great multitude, and you shall know that I am the Lord.’” 29So they camped, one opposite the other, for seven days. And on the seventh day the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel 8killed of the Arameans a hundred thousand foot soldiers in a single day. 30But the rest fled to 9Aphek into the city, and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled and came into the city, going from one 10inner room to another.
