1 Kings 20:1-6

1And BenhadadH1130 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 gatheredH6908 all his armyH2428 togetherH6908: and there were thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 kingsH4428 with him, and horsesH5483, and chariotsH7393: and he went upH5927 and besiegedH6696 SamariaH8111, and warredH3898 against it.

2And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 into the cityH5892, and saidH559 to him, Thus saithH559 BenhadadH1130,

3Thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is mine; thy wivesH802 also and thy childrenH1121, even the most comelyH2896, 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 BenhadadH1130, sayingH559, Although I have sentH7971 to thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt deliverH5414 to me thy silverH3701, and thy goldH2091, and thy wivesH802, and thy childrenH1121;

6Yet I will sendH7971 my servantsH5650 to thee to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256, and they shall searchH2664 thy houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of thy servantsH5650; and it shall beH1961, that whatever is pleasantH4261 in thy eyesH5869, they shall takeH7760 it in their handH3027, and carry it awayH3947.1
