1 Kings 20:13-21
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, 1I am going to handH5414H3027 them overH5414 to you todayH3117, and 2you 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 3Ben-hadadH1130 was drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the 4temporaryH5521 sheltersH5521 5with the thirty-twoH7970H8147 kingsH4428 who were helpingH5826 him. 17The youngH5288 menH5288 of the leadersH8269 of the provincesH4082 wentH3318 outH3318 firstH7223; and Ben-hadadH1130 sentH7971 outH7971 scouts, and they reportedH5046 to him, sayingH559, “MenH376 have comeH3318 outH3318 from SamariaH8111.” 186Then he saidH559, “IfH518 they have comeH3318 outH3318 7for peaceH7965, takeH8610 them aliveH2416; or ifH518 they have comeH3318 outH3318 for warH4421, takeH8610 them aliveH2416 as well.”
19So theseH428 men wentH3318 outH3318 from the cityH5892, the youngH5288 menH5288 of the leadersH8269 of the provincesH4082, and the armyH2428 whichH834 followedH310 them. 20And they 8killedH5221, eachH376 oneH376, his manH376; and the ArameansH758 fledH5127 and IsraelH3478 pursuedH7291 them, and Ben-hadadH1130 the kingH4428 of AramH758 escapedH4422 on a horseH5483 with horsemenH6571. 21The kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 also wentH3318 outH3318 and struckH5221 the horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, and 9killedH5221 the ArameansH758 in a greatH1419 slaughterH4347.
