1 Kings 20:12-16

12And when Ben-hadad heardH8085 thisH2088 messageH1697, while 1he was drinkingH8354 2with the kingsH4428 in the 3temporaryH5521 sheltersH5521, he saidH559 to his servantsH5650, “TakeH7760 your positionsH7760.” So they tookH7760 their positionsH7760 againstH5921 the cityH5892.

13Now beholdH2009, a prophetH5030 approachedH5066 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘Have you seenH7200 allH3605 thisH2088 greatH1419 multitudeH1995? BeholdH2009, 4I am going to handH5414H3027 them overH5414 to you todayH3117, and 5you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.’” 14But AhabH256 saidH559, “By whomH4310?” So he saidH559, “The LordH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: ‘By the youngH5288 menH5288 of the leadersH8269 of the provincesH4082.’” Then he saidH559, “WhoH4310 will beginH631 the battleH4421?” And he saidH559, “You will.” 15So he musteredH6485 the youngH5288 menH5288 of the leadersH8269 of the provincesH4082, and there were 232H3967H8147H7970; and afterH310 them he musteredH6485 allH3605 the peopleH5971, allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478: sevenH7651 thousandH505.

16They wentH3318 outH3318 at noonH6672, while 6Ben-hadadH1130 was drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the 7temporaryH5521 sheltersH5521 8with the thirty-twoH7970H8147 kingsH4428 who were helpingH5826 him.
