31But 1his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, we have heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are mercifulH2617 kingsH4428. PleaseH4994 let’s 2putH7760 sackclothH8242 3around our waistsH4975 and ropesH2256 on our headsH7218, and goH3318 outH3318 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; perhapsH194 he will letH2421 4you liveH2421.”
32So 5they putH2296 sackclothH8242 6around their waistsH4975 and ropesH2256 on their headsH7218, and cameH935 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559, “7Your servantH5650 Ben-hadadH1130 saysH559, ‘PleaseH4994 let 8me liveH2421.’” And Ahab saidH559, “Is he stillH5750 aliveH2416? He is my brotherH251.”
33Now the menH376 tookH5172 this asH5172 aH5172 good omenH5172, and quicklyH4116 9acceptingH2480 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.
