1 Kings 20:31-34

31And his servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, weH3588 have heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are merciful kingsH4428: letH4994 usH4994, weH3588 prayH4994 thee, putH7760 sackclothH8242 on our loinsH4975, and ropesH2256 uponH413 our headsH7218, and goH3318 outH3318 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will saveH5315 thy lifeH5315.

32SoH935 they girdedH2296 sackclothH8242 on their loinsH4975, and putH935 ropesH2256 on their headsH7218, and cameH935 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, Thy servantH5650 Ben-hadadH1130 saith, I prayH4994 thee, letH4994 meH413 liveH2421. And he saidH559, Is he yet aliveH2416? he is my brotherH251.

33NowH935 the menH376 observed diligently, and hasted to catch whetherH4480 it were his mind; and they saidH559, Thy brotherH251 Ben-hadadH1130. Then he saidH559, GoH3318 ye, bringH935 him. Then Ben-hadadH1130 cameH935 forthH3318 to him; and he caused him to comeH935 upH5927 intoH413 the chariotH4818.

34And Ben-hadad saidH559 unto him, The citiesH5892 whichH834 my fatherH1 tookH3947 from thy fatherH1 I will restoreH7725; and thou shalt makeH7760 streetsH2351 for thee in DamascusH1834, as my fatherH1 madeH3772 in SamariaH8111. And I, saidH559 AhabH559, will letH7971 thee goH7971 with this covenantH1285. SoH3947 he madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and letH7971 him goH7971.
