1And Ben-hadadH1130 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 gatheredH6908 allH3605 his hostH2426 togetherH6908: and there were thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 kingsH4428 with him, and horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393: and he wentH5927 upH5927 and besieged SamariaH8111, and foughtH3898 againstH5921 it.

2And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, intoH413 the cityH5892, and saidH413 unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,

3Thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is mine; thy wivesH802 also and thy childrenH1121, evenH3541 the goodliest, are mine.

4And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 answeredH559 and saidH559, It is according to thy sayingH559, my lordH113, O kingH4428; I am thine, and allH3605 that I have.

5And the messengersH4397 cameH413 againH7725, and saidH559, ThusH3541 speaketh Ben-hadadH1130, sayingH559, I sentH7971 indeedH3588 unto thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt deliverH5414 meH413 thy silverH3701, and thy goldH2091, and thy wivesH802, and thy childrenH1121;

6but I will sendH7971 my servantsH5650 unto thee tomorrowH4279 aboutH1961 this time, and they shall searchH2664 thine houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of thy servantsH5650; and it shall be, that whatsoeverH3605 is pleasantH4261 in thine eyesH5869, they shall putH7760 it in their handH3027, and takeH3947 it awayH7971.
