2And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 into the cityH5892, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 Ben–hadadH1130,

3Thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is mine; thy wivesH802 also and thy childrenH1121, even the goodliestH2896, are mine.

4And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 answeredH6030 and saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, according to thy sayingH1697, I am thine, and all that I have.

5And the messengersH4397 came againH7725, and saidH559, Thus speakethH559 Ben–hadadH1130, sayingH559, Although I have sentH7971 unto thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt deliverH5414 me thy silverH3701, and thy goldH2091, and thy wivesH802, and thy childrenH1121;

6Yet I will sendH7971 my servantsH5650 unto thee to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256, and they shall searchH2664 thine houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of thy servantsH5650; and it shall beH1961, that whatsoever is pleasantH4261 in thine eyesH5869, they shall putH7760 it in their handH3027, and take it awayH3947.1
