1 Kings

Chapter 20

1 And Ben-hadad1130 the king4428 of Syria758 gathered all his host together:6908 853 3605 2428 and there were thirty7970 and two8147 kings4428 with854 him, and horses,5483 and chariots:7393 and he went up5927 and besieged6696 5921 Samaria,8111 and warred3898 against it.

2 And he sent7971 messengers4397 to413 Ahab256 king4428 of Israel3478 into the city,5892 and said559 unto him, Thus3541 saith559 Ben-hadad,1130

3 Thy silver3701 and thy gold2091 is mine; thy wives802 also and thy children,1121 even the goodliest,2896 are mine.

4 And the king4428 of Israel3478 answered6030 and said,559 My lord,113 O king,4428 according to thy saying,1697 I589 am thine, and all3605 that834 I have.

5 And the messengers4397 came again,7725 and said,559 Thus3541 speaketh559 Ben-hadad,1130 saying,559 Although3588 I have sent7971 unto413 thee, saying,559 Thou shalt deliver5414 me thy silver,3701 and thy gold,2091 and thy wives,802 and thy children;1121

6 Yet3588 I will send7971 853 my servants5650 unto413 thee tomorrow4279 about518 this time,6256 and they shall search2664 853 thine house,1004 and the houses1004 of thy servants;5650 and it shall be,1961 that whatsoever3605 is pleasant4261 in thine eyes,5869 they shall put7760 it in their hand,3027 and take it away.3947

7 Then the king4428 of Israel3478 called7121 all3605 the elders2205 of the land,776 and said,559 Mark,3045 I pray you,4994 and see7200 how3588 this2088 man seeketh1245 mischief:7451 for3588 he sent7971 unto413 me for my wives,802 and for my children,1121 and for my silver,3701 and for my gold;2091 and I denied4513 4480 him not.3808

8 And all3605 the elders2205 and all3605 the people5971 said559 unto413 him, Hearken8085 not408 unto him, nor3808 consent.14

9 Wherefore he said559 unto the messengers4397 of Ben-hadad,1130 Tell559 my lord113 the king,4428 All3605 that834 thou didst send7971 for to413 thy servant5650 at the first7223 I will do:6213 but this2088 thing1697 I may3201 not3808 do.6213 And the messengers4397 departed,1980 and brought7725 him word1697 again.

10 And Ben-hadad1130 sent7971 unto413 him, and said,559 The gods430 do6213 so3541 unto me, and more3254 also,3541 if518 the dust6083 of Samaria8111 shall suffice5606 for handfuls8168 for all3605 the people5971 that834 follow7272 me.

11 And the king4428 of Israel3478 answered6030 and said,559 Tell1696 him, Let not408 him that girdeth2296 on his harness boast himself1984 as he that putteth it off.6605

12 And it came to pass,1961 when Ben-hadad heard8085 853 this2088 message,1697 as he1931 was drinking,8354 he1931 and the kings4428 in the pavilions,5521 that he said559 unto413 his servants,5650 Set7760 yourselves in array. And they set7760 themselves in array against5921 the city.5892

13 And, behold,2009 there came5066 a259 prophet5030 unto413 Ahab256 king4428 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Hast thou seen7200 853 all3605 this2088 great1419 multitude?1995 behold,2009 I will deliver5414 it into thine hand3027 this day;3117 and thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068

14 And Ahab256 said,559 By whom?4310 And he said,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Even by the young men5288 of the princes8269 of the provinces.4082 Then he said,559 Who4310 shall order631 the battle?4421 And he answered,559 Thou.859

15 Then he numbered6485 853 the young men5288 of the princes8269 of the provinces,4082 and they were1961 two hundred3967 and thirty7970 two:8147 and after310 them he numbered6485 853 all3605 the people,5971 even all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 being seven7651 thousand.505

16 And they went out3318 at noon.6672 But Ben-hadad1130 was drinking8354 himself drunk7910 in the pavilions,5521 he1931 and the kings,4428 the thirty7970 and two8147 kings4428 that helped5826 him.

17 And the young men5288 of the princes8269 of the provinces4082 went out3318 first;7223 and Ben-hadad1130 sent out,7971 and they told5046 him, saying,559 There are men376 come out3318 of Samaria.4480 8111

18 And he said,559 Whether518 they be come out3318 for peace,7965 take8610 them alive;2416 or whether518 they be come out3318 for war,4421 take8610 them alive.2416

19 So these428 young men5288 of the princes8269 of the provinces4082 came out3318 of4480 the city,5892 and the army2428 which834 followed310 them.

20 And they slew5221 every one376 his man:376 and the Syrians758 fled;5127 and Israel3478 pursued7291 them: and Ben-hadad1130 the king4428 of Syria758 escaped4422 on5921 a horse5483 with the horsemen.6571

21 And the king4428 of Israel3478 went out,3318 and smote5221 853 the horses5483 and chariots,7393 and slew5221 the Syrians758 with a great1419 slaughter.4347

22 And the prophet5030 came5066 to413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 and said559 unto him, Go,1980 strengthen thyself,2388 and mark,3045 and see7200 853 what834 thou doest:6213 for3588 at the return8666 of the year8141 the king4428 of Syria758 will come up5927 against5921 thee.

23 And the servants5650 of the king4428 of Syria758 said559 unto413 him, Their gods430 are gods430 of the hills;2022 therefore5921 3651 they were stronger2388 than4480 we; but199 let us fight3898 against854 them in the plain,4334 and surely,518 we shall be stronger3808 2388 than4480 they.

24 And do6213 this2088 thing,1697 Take the kings away,5493 4428 every man376 out of his place,4480 4725 and put7760 captains6346 in their rooms: 8478

25 And number859 4487 thee an army,2428 like the army2428 that thou hast lost,5307 4480 853 horse5483 for horse,5483 and chariot7393 for chariot:7393 and we will fight against3898 them in the plain,4334 and surely518 3808 we shall be stronger2388 than4480 they. And he hearkened8085 unto their voice,6963 and did6213 so.3651

26 And it came to pass1961 at the return8666 of the year,8141 that Ben-hadad1130 numbered6485 853 the Syrians,758 and went up5927 to Aphek,663 to fight4421 against5973 Israel.3478

27 And the children1121 of Israel3478 were numbered,6485 and were all present,3557 and went1980 against7121 them: and the children1121 of Israel3478 pitched2583 before5048 them like two8147 little flocks2835 of kids;5795 but the Syrians758 filled4390 853 the country.776

28 And there came5066 a man376 of God,430 and spoke559 unto413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 and said,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Because3282 834 the Syrians758 have said,559 The LORD3068 is God430 of the hills,2022 but he1931 is not3808 God430 of the valleys,6010 therefore will I deliver5414 853 all3605 this2088 great1419 multitude1995 into thine hand,3027 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068

29 And they pitched2583 one428 over against5227 the other428 seven7651 days.3117 And so it was,1961 that in the seventh7637 day3117 the battle4421 was joined:7126 and the children1121 of Israel3478 slew5221 of853 the Syrians758 a hundred3967 thousand505 footmen7273 in one259 day.3117

30 But the rest3498 fled5127 to Aphek,663 into413 the city;5892 and there a wall2346 fell5307 upon5921 twenty6242 and seven7651 thousand505 of the men376 that were left.3498 And Ben-hadad1130 fled,5127 and came935 into413 the city,5892 into an inner chamber.2315 2315

31 And his servants5650 said559 unto413 him, Behold2009 now,4994 we have heard8085 that3588 the kings4428 of the house1004 of Israel3478 are merciful2617 kings:4428 let us, I pray thee,4994 put7760 sackcloth8242 on our loins,4975 and ropes2256 upon our heads,7218 and go out3318 to413 the king4428 of Israel:3478 peradventure194 he will save2421 853 thy life.5315

32 So they girded2296 sackcloth8242 on their loins,4975 and put ropes2256 on their heads,7218 and came935 to413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 and said,559 Thy servant5650 Ben-hadad1130 saith,559 I pray thee,4994 let me5315 live.2421 And he said,559 Is he yet5750 alive?2416 he1931 is my brother.251

33 Now the men376 did diligently observe5172 whether any thing would come from4480 him, and did hastily4116 catch2480 it: and they said,559 Thy brother251 Ben-hadad.1130 Then he said,559 Go935 ye, bring3947 him. Then Ben-hadad1130 came forth3318 to413 him; and he caused him to come up5927 into5921 the chariot.4818

34 And Ben-hadad said559 unto413 him, The cities,5892 which834 my father1 took3947 from4480 854 thy father,1 I will restore;7725 and thou shalt make7760 streets2351 for thee in Damascus,1834 as834 my father1 made7760 in Samaria.8111 Then said Ahab, I589 will send thee away7971 with this covenant.1285 So he made3772 a covenant1285 with him, and sent him away.7971

35 And a certain259 man376 of the sons4480 1121 of the prophets5030 said559 unto413 his neighbor7453 in the word1697 of the LORD,3068 Smite5221 me, I pray thee.4994 And the man376 refused3985 to smite5221 him.

36 Then said559 he unto him, Because3282 834 thou hast not3808 obeyed8085 the voice6963 of the LORD,3068 behold,2009 as soon as thou art departed1980 from4480 853 me, a lion738 shall slay5221 thee. And as soon as he was departed1980 from4480 681 him, a lion738 found4672 him, and slew5221 him.

37 Then he found4672 another312 man,376 and said,559 Smite5221 me, I pray thee.4994 And the man376 smote5221 him, so that in smiting5221 he wounded6481 him.

38 So the prophet5030 departed,1980 and waited5975 for the king4428 by5921 the way,1870 and disguised himself2664 with ashes666 upon5921 his face.5869

39 And as1961 the king4428 passed by,5674 he1931 cried6817 unto413 the king:4428 and he said,559 Thy servant5650 went out3318 into the midst7130 of the battle;4421 and, behold,2009 a man376 turned aside,5493 and brought935 a man376 unto413 me, and said,559 Keep8104 853 this2088 man:376 if518 by any means he be missing,6485 6485 then shall thy life5315 be1961 for8478 his life,5315 or176 else thou shalt pay8254 a talent3603 of silver.3701

40 And as thy servant5650 was1961 busy6213 here2008 and there,2008 he1931 was gone.369 And the king4428 of Israel3478 said559 unto413 him, So3651 shall thy judgment4941 be; thyself859 hast decided2782 it.

41 And he hasted,4116 and took5493 853 the ashes666 away from4480 5921 his face;5869 and the king4428 of Israel3478 discerned5234 him that3588 he1931 was of the prophets.4480 5030

42 And he said559 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Because3282 thou hast let go7971 out of thy hand4480 3027 853 a man376 whom I appointed to utter destruction,2764 therefore thy life5315 shall go1961 for8478 his life,5315 and thy people5971 for8478 his people.5971

43 And the king4428 of Israel3478 went1980 to5921 his house1004 heavy5620 and displeased,2198 and came935 to Samaria.8111

1 Kings

Chapter 20

1 AND Bar-hadad the king of Edom gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria and fought against it.

2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says Bar-hadad,

3 Your silver and your gold are mine; and the most attractive of your wives and your children are mine also.

4 And the king of Israel answered and said, According to your word, my lord, O king, I am yours, and all that I have.

5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says Bar-hadad, Although I sent to you at first, saying, You shall deliver to me your silver and your gold and your wives and your children;

6 Yet I will send my servants to you tomorrow at about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants; and whatsoever pleases them, they shall take in their hands and bring back.

7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said to them, Know, and see how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives and for my children and for my silver and for my gold; and I denied him not.

8 And all the elders and all the people said to him, Do not hearken to him, nor consent.

9 Wherefore he said to the messengers of Bar-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you did send for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed and brought him word again.

10 And Bar-hadad sent to him and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria in handfuls shall suffice for all the people who are with me.

11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Let him talk; nevertheless, the one who ties a knot is not more able than the one who can untie it.

12 And when Bar-hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, Set yourselves in array against the city.

13 And, behold, a prophet drew near to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, Thus says the LORD, Have you seen all this great army? Behold, I will deliver it into your hands this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said to him, By the young men and by the princes of the city. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, You.

15 Then he numbered the young men and the princes of the city, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

16 And they went out at noon, but Bar-hadad was drinking old wine in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who were come to help him.

17 And the young men and the princes of the city went out first; and Bar-hadad sent out men, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.

18 And he said, Whether they have come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they have come out for war, take them alive.

19 So these young men and these princes came out of the city, and the army followed them.

20 And they slew every one his man; and the Arameans fled; and Israel pursued them; and Bar-hadad the king of Aram escaped in chariots with horsemen.

21 And the king of Israel went out and destroyed the horses and chariots, and slew the Arameans with a great slaughter.

22 And, behold, the prophet of God came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself, and know, and see what you have to do; for at the beginning of the year the king of Aram will come up against you.

23 And the servants of the king of Aram said to him, Their god is a god of the mountains; this is why they triumphed over us; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall triumph over them.

24 And do this thing: Remove the kings, every one from his command, and put officers in their places;

25 And number for yourself an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.

26 And it came to pass at the beginning of the year, that Bar-hadad gave orders to the Arameans, and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

27 And the children of Israel were mustered and set in array against them, like two little flocks of goats; but the Arameans filled the country.

28 And a prophet of God drew near to Ahab the king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the LORD, Because the Arameans have said, The LORD is a god of the mountains, but he is not a god of the valleys, therefore I will deliver all this great army into your hands, and you shall know that I am the LORD.

29 So they encamped, one over against the other, seven days. And on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel slew of the Arameans a hundred thousand footmen in one day.

30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left. And Bar-hadad fled and came into the city into an inner chamber.

31 And his servants came near and said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of Israel are merciful kings; let us put sackcloth upon our heads and gird ropes on our loins and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will spare our lives.

32 So they put sackcloth on their heads and girded ropes on their loins, and went to the king of Israel and said to him, Your servant Bar-hadad says. Let me live. And the king said, Is he still alive? He is my brother.

33 Now Bar-hadad was a soothsayer, and the men surmised and quickly caught his meaning, and they said, Behold your brother, Bar-hadad. Then he said, Go, bring him. Then Bar-hadad came forth to him; and Ahab caused him to sit with him in the chariot.

34 And Bar-hadad said to him, The cities which my father took from your father, I will restore; and I will make a market place for you in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then Ahab said, I will send you away with a covenant. So he made a covenant with him and sent him away.

35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor according to the word of the LORD, Strike me. But the man refused to strike him.

36 Then he said to him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall slay you. And as soon as he departed from him, a lion found him and slew him.

37 Then he found another man and said to him, Strike me. And the man struck him, and wounded him.

38 So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised his face with ashes.

39 And, behold, as the king was passing by, he cried to the king and said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a soldier to me, and said, Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall your life be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.

40 And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.

41 And ha hasted and wiped off the ashes from his face; and the king of Israel realized that he was of the prophets.

42 And he said to him, Thus says the LORD, Because you have let go out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life and your people for his people.

43 Then the king of Israel went to his house sad and displeased, and came to Samaria.

1 And Ben-hadad1130 the king4428 of Syria758 gathered all his host together:6908 853 3605 2428 and there were thirty7970 and two8147 kings4428 with854 him, and horses,5483 and chariots:7393 and he went up5927 and besieged6696 5921 Samaria,8111 and warred3898 against it.

1 AND Bar-hadad the king of Edom gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria and fought against it.

2 And he sent7971 messengers4397 to413 Ahab256 king4428 of Israel3478 into the city,5892 and said559 unto him, Thus3541 saith559 Ben-hadad,1130

2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says Bar-hadad,

3 Thy silver3701 and thy gold2091 is mine; thy wives802 also and thy children,1121 even the goodliest,2896 are mine.

3 Your silver and your gold are mine; and the most attractive of your wives and your children are mine also.

4 And the king4428 of Israel3478 answered6030 and said,559 My lord,113 O king,4428 according to thy saying,1697 I589 am thine, and all3605 that834 I have.

4 And the king of Israel answered and said, According to your word, my lord, O king, I am yours, and all that I have.

5 And the messengers4397 came again,7725 and said,559 Thus3541 speaketh559 Ben-hadad,1130 saying,559 Although3588 I have sent7971 unto413 thee, saying,559 Thou shalt deliver5414 me thy silver,3701 and thy gold,2091 and thy wives,802 and thy children;1121

5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says Bar-hadad, Although I sent to you at first, saying, You shall deliver to me your silver and your gold and your wives and your children;

6 Yet3588 I will send7971 853 my servants5650 unto413 thee tomorrow4279 about518 this time,6256 and they shall search2664 853 thine house,1004 and the houses1004 of thy servants;5650 and it shall be,1961 that whatsoever3605 is pleasant4261 in thine eyes,5869 they shall put7760 it in their hand,3027 and take it away.3947

6 Yet I will send my servants to you tomorrow at about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants; and whatsoever pleases them, they shall take in their hands and bring back.

7 Then the king4428 of Israel3478 called7121 all3605 the elders2205 of the land,776 and said,559 Mark,3045 I pray you,4994 and see7200 how3588 this2088 man seeketh1245 mischief:7451 for3588 he sent7971 unto413 me for my wives,802 and for my children,1121 and for my silver,3701 and for my gold;2091 and I denied4513 4480 him not.3808

7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said to them, Know, and see how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives and for my children and for my silver and for my gold; and I denied him not.

8 And all3605 the elders2205 and all3605 the people5971 said559 unto413 him, Hearken8085 not408 unto him, nor3808 consent.14

8 And all the elders and all the people said to him, Do not hearken to him, nor consent.

9 Wherefore he said559 unto the messengers4397 of Ben-hadad,1130 Tell559 my lord113 the king,4428 All3605 that834 thou didst send7971 for to413 thy servant5650 at the first7223 I will do:6213 but this2088 thing1697 I may3201 not3808 do.6213 And the messengers4397 departed,1980 and brought7725 him word1697 again.

9 Wherefore he said to the messengers of Bar-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you did send for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed and brought him word again.

10 And Ben-hadad1130 sent7971 unto413 him, and said,559 The gods430 do6213 so3541 unto me, and more3254 also,3541 if518 the dust6083 of Samaria8111 shall suffice5606 for handfuls8168 for all3605 the people5971 that834 follow7272 me.

10 And Bar-hadad sent to him and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria in handfuls shall suffice for all the people who are with me.

11 And the king4428 of Israel3478 answered6030 and said,559 Tell1696 him, Let not408 him that girdeth2296 on his harness boast himself1984 as he that putteth it off.6605

11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Let him talk; nevertheless, the one who ties a knot is not more able than the one who can untie it.

12 And it came to pass,1961 when Ben-hadad heard8085 853 this2088 message,1697 as he1931 was drinking,8354 he1931 and the kings4428 in the pavilions,5521 that he said559 unto413 his servants,5650 Set7760 yourselves in array. And they set7760 themselves in array against5921 the city.5892

12 And when Bar-hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, Set yourselves in array against the city.

13 And, behold,2009 there came5066 a259 prophet5030 unto413 Ahab256 king4428 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Hast thou seen7200 853 all3605 this2088 great1419 multitude?1995 behold,2009 I will deliver5414 it into thine hand3027 this day;3117 and thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068

13 And, behold, a prophet drew near to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, Thus says the LORD, Have you seen all this great army? Behold, I will deliver it into your hands this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

14 And Ahab256 said,559 By whom?4310 And he said,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Even by the young men5288 of the princes8269 of the provinces.4082 Then he said,559 Who4310 shall order631 the battle?4421 And he answered,559 Thou.859

14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said to him, By the young men and by the princes of the city. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, You.

15 Then he numbered6485 853 the young men5288 of the princes8269 of the provinces,4082 and they were1961 two hundred3967 and thirty7970 two:8147 and after310 them he numbered6485 853 all3605 the people,5971 even all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 being seven7651 thousand.505

15 Then he numbered the young men and the princes of the city, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

16 And they went out3318 at noon.6672 But Ben-hadad1130 was drinking8354 himself drunk7910 in the pavilions,5521 he1931 and the kings,4428 the thirty7970 and two8147 kings4428 that helped5826 him.

16 And they went out at noon, but Bar-hadad was drinking old wine in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who were come to help him.

17 And the young men5288 of the princes8269 of the provinces4082 went out3318 first;7223 and Ben-hadad1130 sent out,7971 and they told5046 him, saying,559 There are men376 come out3318 of Samaria.4480 8111

17 And the young men and the princes of the city went out first; and Bar-hadad sent out men, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.

18 And he said,559 Whether518 they be come out3318 for peace,7965 take8610 them alive;2416 or whether518 they be come out3318 for war,4421 take8610 them alive.2416

18 And he said, Whether they have come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they have come out for war, take them alive.

19 So these428 young men5288 of the princes8269 of the provinces4082 came out3318 of4480 the city,5892 and the army2428 which834 followed310 them.

19 So these young men and these princes came out of the city, and the army followed them.

20 And they slew5221 every one376 his man:376 and the Syrians758 fled;5127 and Israel3478 pursued7291 them: and Ben-hadad1130 the king4428 of Syria758 escaped4422 on5921 a horse5483 with the horsemen.6571

20 And they slew every one his man; and the Arameans fled; and Israel pursued them; and Bar-hadad the king of Aram escaped in chariots with horsemen.

21 And the king4428 of Israel3478 went out,3318 and smote5221 853 the horses5483 and chariots,7393 and slew5221 the Syrians758 with a great1419 slaughter.4347

21 And the king of Israel went out and destroyed the horses and chariots, and slew the Arameans with a great slaughter.

22 And the prophet5030 came5066 to413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 and said559 unto him, Go,1980 strengthen thyself,2388 and mark,3045 and see7200 853 what834 thou doest:6213 for3588 at the return8666 of the year8141 the king4428 of Syria758 will come up5927 against5921 thee.

22 And, behold, the prophet of God came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself, and know, and see what you have to do; for at the beginning of the year the king of Aram will come up against you.

23 And the servants5650 of the king4428 of Syria758 said559 unto413 him, Their gods430 are gods430 of the hills;2022 therefore5921 3651 they were stronger2388 than4480 we; but199 let us fight3898 against854 them in the plain,4334 and surely,518 we shall be stronger3808 2388 than4480 they.

23 And the servants of the king of Aram said to him, Their god is a god of the mountains; this is why they triumphed over us; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall triumph over them.

24 And do6213 this2088 thing,1697 Take the kings away,5493 4428 every man376 out of his place,4480 4725 and put7760 captains6346 in their rooms: 8478

24 And do this thing: Remove the kings, every one from his command, and put officers in their places;

25 And number859 4487 thee an army,2428 like the army2428 that thou hast lost,5307 4480 853 horse5483 for horse,5483 and chariot7393 for chariot:7393 and we will fight against3898 them in the plain,4334 and surely518 3808 we shall be stronger2388 than4480 they. And he hearkened8085 unto their voice,6963 and did6213 so.3651

25 And number for yourself an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.

26 And it came to pass1961 at the return8666 of the year,8141 that Ben-hadad1130 numbered6485 853 the Syrians,758 and went up5927 to Aphek,663 to fight4421 against5973 Israel.3478

26 And it came to pass at the beginning of the year, that Bar-hadad gave orders to the Arameans, and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

27 And the children1121 of Israel3478 were numbered,6485 and were all present,3557 and went1980 against7121 them: and the children1121 of Israel3478 pitched2583 before5048 them like two8147 little flocks2835 of kids;5795 but the Syrians758 filled4390 853 the country.776

27 And the children of Israel were mustered and set in array against them, like two little flocks of goats; but the Arameans filled the country.

28 And there came5066 a man376 of God,430 and spoke559 unto413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 and said,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Because3282 834 the Syrians758 have said,559 The LORD3068 is God430 of the hills,2022 but he1931 is not3808 God430 of the valleys,6010 therefore will I deliver5414 853 all3605 this2088 great1419 multitude1995 into thine hand,3027 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068

28 And a prophet of God drew near to Ahab the king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the LORD, Because the Arameans have said, The LORD is a god of the mountains, but he is not a god of the valleys, therefore I will deliver all this great army into your hands, and you shall know that I am the LORD.

29 And they pitched2583 one428 over against5227 the other428 seven7651 days.3117 And so it was,1961 that in the seventh7637 day3117 the battle4421 was joined:7126 and the children1121 of Israel3478 slew5221 of853 the Syrians758 a hundred3967 thousand505 footmen7273 in one259 day.3117

29 So they encamped, one over against the other, seven days. And on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel slew of the Arameans a hundred thousand footmen in one day.

30 But the rest3498 fled5127 to Aphek,663 into413 the city;5892 and there a wall2346 fell5307 upon5921 twenty6242 and seven7651 thousand505 of the men376 that were left.3498 And Ben-hadad1130 fled,5127 and came935 into413 the city,5892 into an inner chamber.2315 2315

30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left. And Bar-hadad fled and came into the city into an inner chamber.

31 And his servants5650 said559 unto413 him, Behold2009 now,4994 we have heard8085 that3588 the kings4428 of the house1004 of Israel3478 are merciful2617 kings:4428 let us, I pray thee,4994 put7760 sackcloth8242 on our loins,4975 and ropes2256 upon our heads,7218 and go out3318 to413 the king4428 of Israel:3478 peradventure194 he will save2421 853 thy life.5315

31 And his servants came near and said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of Israel are merciful kings; let us put sackcloth upon our heads and gird ropes on our loins and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will spare our lives.

32 So they girded2296 sackcloth8242 on their loins,4975 and put ropes2256 on their heads,7218 and came935 to413 the king4428 of Israel,3478 and said,559 Thy servant5650 Ben-hadad1130 saith,559 I pray thee,4994 let me5315 live.2421 And he said,559 Is he yet5750 alive?2416 he1931 is my brother.251

32 So they put sackcloth on their heads and girded ropes on their loins, and went to the king of Israel and said to him, Your servant Bar-hadad says. Let me live. And the king said, Is he still alive? He is my brother.

33 Now the men376 did diligently observe5172 whether any thing would come from4480 him, and did hastily4116 catch2480 it: and they said,559 Thy brother251 Ben-hadad.1130 Then he said,559 Go935 ye, bring3947 him. Then Ben-hadad1130 came forth3318 to413 him; and he caused him to come up5927 into5921 the chariot.4818

33 Now Bar-hadad was a soothsayer, and the men surmised and quickly caught his meaning, and they said, Behold your brother, Bar-hadad. Then he said, Go, bring him. Then Bar-hadad came forth to him; and Ahab caused him to sit with him in the chariot.

34 And Ben-hadad said559 unto413 him, The cities,5892 which834 my father1 took3947 from4480 854 thy father,1 I will restore;7725 and thou shalt make7760 streets2351 for thee in Damascus,1834 as834 my father1 made7760 in Samaria.8111 Then said Ahab, I589 will send thee away7971 with this covenant.1285 So he made3772 a covenant1285 with him, and sent him away.7971

34 And Bar-hadad said to him, The cities which my father took from your father, I will restore; and I will make a market place for you in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then Ahab said, I will send you away with a covenant. So he made a covenant with him and sent him away.

35 And a certain259 man376 of the sons4480 1121 of the prophets5030 said559 unto413 his neighbor7453 in the word1697 of the LORD,3068 Smite5221 me, I pray thee.4994 And the man376 refused3985 to smite5221 him.

35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor according to the word of the LORD, Strike me. But the man refused to strike him.

36 Then said559 he unto him, Because3282 834 thou hast not3808 obeyed8085 the voice6963 of the LORD,3068 behold,2009 as soon as thou art departed1980 from4480 853 me, a lion738 shall slay5221 thee. And as soon as he was departed1980 from4480 681 him, a lion738 found4672 him, and slew5221 him.

36 Then he said to him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall slay you. And as soon as he departed from him, a lion found him and slew him.

37 Then he found4672 another312 man,376 and said,559 Smite5221 me, I pray thee.4994 And the man376 smote5221 him, so that in smiting5221 he wounded6481 him.

37 Then he found another man and said to him, Strike me. And the man struck him, and wounded him.

38 So the prophet5030 departed,1980 and waited5975 for the king4428 by5921 the way,1870 and disguised himself2664 with ashes666 upon5921 his face.5869

38 So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised his face with ashes.

39 And as1961 the king4428 passed by,5674 he1931 cried6817 unto413 the king:4428 and he said,559 Thy servant5650 went out3318 into the midst7130 of the battle;4421 and, behold,2009 a man376 turned aside,5493 and brought935 a man376 unto413 me, and said,559 Keep8104 853 this2088 man:376 if518 by any means he be missing,6485 6485 then shall thy life5315 be1961 for8478 his life,5315 or176 else thou shalt pay8254 a talent3603 of silver.3701

39 And, behold, as the king was passing by, he cried to the king and said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a soldier to me, and said, Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall your life be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.

40 And as thy servant5650 was1961 busy6213 here2008 and there,2008 he1931 was gone.369 And the king4428 of Israel3478 said559 unto413 him, So3651 shall thy judgment4941 be; thyself859 hast decided2782 it.

40 And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.

41 And he hasted,4116 and took5493 853 the ashes666 away from4480 5921 his face;5869 and the king4428 of Israel3478 discerned5234 him that3588 he1931 was of the prophets.4480 5030

41 And ha hasted and wiped off the ashes from his face; and the king of Israel realized that he was of the prophets.

42 And he said559 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Because3282 thou hast let go7971 out of thy hand4480 3027 853 a man376 whom I appointed to utter destruction,2764 therefore thy life5315 shall go1961 for8478 his life,5315 and thy people5971 for8478 his people.5971

42 And he said to him, Thus says the LORD, Because you have let go out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life and your people for his people.

43 And the king4428 of Israel3478 went1980 to5921 his house1004 heavy5620 and displeased,2198 and came935 to Samaria.8111

43 Then the king of Israel went to his house sad and displeased, and came to Samaria.
