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
7Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 all the eldersH2205 of the landH776, and saidH559, MarkH3045, I pray you, and seeH7200 how this man seekethH1245 mischiefH7451: for he sentH7971 unto me for my wivesH802, and for my childrenH1121, and for my silverH3701, and for my goldH2091; and I deniedH4513 him not.2
