1 Kings 20:22-34

22Then 1the prophetH5030 approachedH5066 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to him, “GoH1980, showH2388 yourself courageousH2388 and beH3045 awareH3045 and seeH7200 whatH834 you have to doH6213; for 2at 3the turnH8666 of the yearH8141 the kingH4428 of AramH758 will marchH5927 againstH5921 you.”

23Now the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 of AramH758 saidH559 to him, “4Their godsH430 are godsH430 of the mountainsH2022; forH5921 thatH5921H3651 reasonH5921H3651 they were strongerH2388 thanH4480 we. But let us fightH3898 them in the plainH4334, and we will certainlyH518H3808 be strongerH2388 thanH4480 they. 24CarryH6213 outH6213 thisH2088 5planH1697: removeH5493 the kingsH4428, eachH376 from his placeH4725, and putH7760 governorsH6346 inH8478 their placeH8478, 25and 6musterH4487 an armyH2428 like the armyH2428 that you have lostH5307H4480, horseH5483 for horseH5483 and chariotH7393 for chariotH7393. Then we will fightH3898 againstH854 them in the plainH4334, and we will certainlyH518H3808 be strongerH2388 thanH4480 they.” And he listenedH8085 to their voiceH6963 and didH6213 soH3651.

26So 7at 8the turnH8666 of the yearH8141 Ben-hadadH1130 musteredH6485 the ArameansH758 and wentH5927 upH5927 to 9AphekH663 to fightH4421 againstH5973 IsraelH3478. 27And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were musteredH6485 and givenH3557 provisionsH3557, and they wentH1980 to meetH7122 them; and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 campedH2583 oppositeH5048 them like twoH8147 littleH2835 flocksH2835 of goatsH5795, 10while the ArameansH758 filledH4390 the countryH776. 28Then 11a manH376 of GodH430 approachedH5066 and spokeH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘SinceH3282H834 the ArameansH758 have saidH559, “12The LordH3068 is a godH430 of mountainsH2022, but He is not a godH430 of valleysH6010,” therefore 13I will handH5414H3027 overH5414 to you allH3605 thisH2088 greatH1419 multitudeH1995, and you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.’” 29So they campedH2583, oneH428 oppositeH5227 the otherH428, for sevenH7651 daysH3117. And on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 the battleH4421 was joinedH7126, and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 14killedH5221 of the ArameansH758 a hundredH3967 thousandH505 footH7273 soldiersH7273 in a singleH259 dayH3117. 30But the restH3498 fledH5127 to 15AphekH663 into the cityH5892, and the wallH2346 fellH5307 on twenty-sevenH6242H7651 thousandH505 menH376 who were leftH3498. And Ben-hadadH1130 fledH5127 and cameH935 into the cityH5892, going from one 16innerH2315 roomH2315 to anotherH2315.

31But 17his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, we have heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are mercifulH2617 kingsH4428. PleaseH4994 let’s 18putH7760 sackclothH8242 19around our waistsH4975 and ropesH2256 on our headsH7218, and goH3318 outH3318 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; perhapsH194 he will letH2421 20you liveH2421.” 32So 21they putH2296 sackclothH8242 22around their waistsH4975 and ropesH2256 on their headsH7218, and cameH935 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559, “23Your servantH5650 Ben-hadadH1130 saysH559, ‘PleaseH4994 let 24me liveH2421.’” And Ahab saidH559, “Is he stillH5750 aliveH2416? He is my brotherH251.” 33Now the menH376 tookH5172 this asH5172 aH5172 good omenH5172, and quicklyH4116 25acceptingH2480 it from him, they saidH559, “Your brotherH251 Ben-hadadH1130.” Then he saidH559, “GoH935, bringH3947 him.” Then Ben-hadadH1130 cameH3318 outH3318 to him, and he had him mountH5927 the chariotH4818. 34And Ben-hadad saidH559 to him, “26The citiesH5892 whichH834 my fatherH1 tookH3947 from your fatherH1 I will restoreH7725, and you can makeH7760 streetsH2351 for yourself in DamascusH1834, as my fatherH1 madeH7760 in SamariaH8111.” Ahab said, “And I will letH7971 you goH7971 with this covenantH1285.” So he madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him and letH7971 him goH7971.
