1 Kings 20:2-10
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
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 to me for my wivesH802, and for my childrenH1121, and for my silverH3701, and for my goldH2091; and I deniedH4513 him not.2
8And all the eldersH2205 and all the peopleH5971 saidH559 to him, HearkenH8085 not to him, nor consentH14.
9Therefore he saidH559 to the messengersH4397 of BenhadadH1130, TellH559 my lordH113 the kingH4428, All that thou didst sendH7971 for to thy servantH5650 at the firstH7223 I will doH6213: but this thingH1697 I mayH3201 not doH6213. And the messengersH4397 departedH3212, and broughtH7725 him wordH1697 againH7725.
10And BenhadadH1130 sentH7971 to him, and saidH559, The godsH430 do soH6213 to me, and more alsoH3254, if the dustH6083 of SamariaH8111 shall sufficeH5606 for handfulsH8168 for all the peopleH5971 that followH7272 me.3
