1 Kings 20:7-9

7Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, “Please be aware and 1see that this man is looking for trouble; for he sent me his demand for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I did not refuse him.”

8Then all the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen nor consent.”

9So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘Everything that you sent as a demand to your servant at the first, I will do; but this thing I cannot do.’” Then the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
