2Then he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to the cityH5892 to AhabH256, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 to him, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 Ben-hadadH1130 saysH559: 3‘Your silverH3701 and your goldH2091 are mine; your most beautifulH2896 wivesH802 and childrenH1121 are also mine.’” 4And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 repliedH6030H559, “As 1you sayH1697, my lordH113, O kingH4428; I am yours, as well as allH3605 that I have.” 5Then the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 and saidH559, “Ben-hadadH1130 saysH559 2thisH3541: ‘I did indeedH3588 sendH7971 word to you, saying, “You shall giveH5414 me your silverH3701, your goldH2091, your wivesH802, and your childrenH1121”; 6but about this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 I will sendH7971 my servantsH5650 to you, and they will searchH2664 your houseH1004 and the housesH1004 of your servantsH5650; and they will takeH7760 in their handsH3027 everythingH3605 that is pleasingH4261 to your eyesH5869, and takeH3947 it all awayH3947.’”
7Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 summonedH7121 allH3605 the eldersH2205 of the landH776 and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 beH3045 awareH3045 and 3seeH7200 that thisH2088 man is lookingH1245 forH1245 troubleH7463; for he sentH7971 me his demand for my wivesH802, my childrenH1121, my silverH3701, and my goldH2091, and I did not refuseH4513 him.”
