1 Kings 20:2-6

2Ben-hadad sent messengers into the city to relay this message to King Ahab of Israel: “This is what Ben-hadad says:

3‘Your silver and gold are mine, and so are your wives and the best of your children!’”

4“All right, my lord the king,” Israel’s king replied. “All that I have is yours!”

5Soon Ben-hadad’s messengers returned again and said, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have already demanded that you give me your silver, gold, wives, and children.

6But about this time tomorrow I will send my officials to search your palace and the homes of your officials. They will take away everything you consider valuable!’”
