1
And Benhadad [1130] the king [4428] of Syria [0758] gathered all his host [2428] together: [6908] and [there were] thirty [7970] and two [8147] kings [4428] with him, and horses, [5483] and chariots: [7393] and he went up [5927] and besieged [6696] Samaria, [8111] and warred [3898] against it.
2
And he sent [7971] messengers [4397] to Ahab [0256] king [4428] of Israel [3478] into the city, [5892] and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] Benhadad, [1130]
3
Thy silver [3701] and thy gold [2091] [is] mine; thy wives [0802] also and thy children, [1121] [even] the goodliest, [2896] [are] mine.
4
And the king [4428] of Israel [3478] answered [6030] and said, [0559] My lord, [0113] O king, [4428] according to thy saying, [1697] I [am] thine, and all that I have.
5
And the messengers [4397] came again, [7725] and said, [0559] Thus speaketh [0559] Benhadad, [1130] saying, [0559] Although I have sent [7971] unto thee, saying, [0559] Thou shalt deliver [5414] me thy silver, [3701] and thy gold, [2091] and thy wives, [0802] and thy children; [1121]
6
Yet I will send [7971] my servants [5650] unto thee to morrow [4279] about this time, [6256] and they shall search [2664] thine house, [1004] and the houses [1004] of thy servants; [5650] and it shall be, [1961] [that] whatsoever is pleasant [4261] in thine eyes, [5869] they shall put [7760] [it] in their hand, [3027] and take [it] away. [3947]
7
Then the king [4428] of Israel [3478] called [7121] all the elders [2205] of the land, [0776] and said, [0559] Mark, [3045] I pray you, and see [7200] how this [man] seeketh [1245] mischief: [7451] for he sent [7971] unto me for my wives, [0802] and for my children, [1121] and for my silver, [3701] and for my gold; [2091] and I denied [4513] him not.
8
And all the elders [2205] and all the people [5971] said [0559] unto him, Hearken [8085] not [unto him], nor consent. [0014]
9
Wherefore he said [0559] unto the messengers [4397] of Benhadad, [1130] Tell [0559] my lord [0113] the king, [4428] All that thou didst send [7971] for to thy servant [5650] at the first [7223] I will do: [6213] but this thing [1697] I may [3201] not do. [6213] And the messengers [4397] departed, [3212] and brought him word [1697] again. [7725]
10
And Benhadad [1130] sent [7971] unto him, and said, [0559] The gods [0430] do [6213] so unto me, and more [3254] also, if the dust [6083] of Samaria [8111] shall suffice [5606] for handfuls [8168] for all the people [5971] that follow [7272] me.
11
And the king [4428] of Israel [3478] answered [6030] and said, [0559] Tell [1696] [him], Let not him that girdeth [2296] on [his harness] boast [1984] himself as he that putteth it off. [6605]
12
And it came to pass, when [Benhadad] heard [8085] this message, [1697] as he [was] drinking, [8354] he and the kings [4428] in the pavilions, [5521] that he said [0559] unto his servants, [5650] Set [7760] [yourselves in array]. And they set [7760] [themselves in array] against the city. [5892]
13
And, behold, there came [5066] a [0259] prophet [5030] unto Ahab [0256] king [4428] of Israel, [3478] saying, [0559] Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] Hast thou seen [7200] all this great [1419] multitude? [1995] behold, I will deliver [5414] it into thine hand [3027] this day; [3117] and thou shalt know [3045] that I [am] the LORD. [3068]
14
And Ahab [0256] said, [0559] By whom? And he said, [0559] Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] [Even] by the young men [5288] of the princes [8269] of the provinces. [4082] Then he said, [0559] Who shall order [0631] the battle? [4421] And he answered, [0559] Thou.
15
Then he numbered [6485] the young men [5288] of the princes [8269] of the provinces, [4082] and they were two hundred [3967] and thirty [7970] two: [8147] and after [0310] them he numbered [6485] all the people, [5971] [even] all the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] [being] seven [7651] thousand. [0505]
16
And they went out [3318] at noon. [6672] But Benhadad [1130] [was] drinking [8354] himself drunk [7910] in the pavilions, [5521] he and the kings, [4428] the thirty [7970] and two [8147] kings [4428] that helped [5826] him.
17
And the young men [5288] of the princes [8269] of the provinces [4082] went out [3318] first; [7223] and Benhadad [1130] sent out, [7971] and they told [5046] him, saying, [0559] There are men [0582] come out [3318] of Samaria. [8111]
18
And he said, [0559] Whether they be come out [3318] for peace, [7965] take [8610] them alive; [2416] or whether they be come out [3318] for war, [4421] take [8610] them alive. [2416]
19
So these young men [5288] of the princes [8269] of the provinces [4082] came out [3318] of the city, [5892] and the army [2428] which followed [0310] them.
20
And they slew [5221] every one [0376] his man: [0376] and the Syrians [0758] fled; [5127] and Israel [3478] pursued [7291] them: and Benhadad [1130] the king [4428] of Syria [0758] escaped [4422] on an horse [5483] with the horsemen. [6571]
21
And the king [4428] of Israel [3478] went out, [3318] and smote [5221] the horses [5483] and chariots, [7393] and slew [5221] the Syrians [0758] with a great [1419] slaughter. [4347]
22
And the prophet [5030] came [5066] to the king [4428] of Israel, [3478] and said [0559] unto him, Go, [3212] strengthen [2388] thyself, and mark, [3045] and see [7200] what thou doest: [6213] for at the return [8666] of the year [8141] the king [4428] of Syria [0758] will come up [5927] against thee.
23
And the servants [5650] of the king [4428] of Syria [0758] said [0559] unto him, Their gods [0430] [are] gods [0430] of the hills; [2022] therefore they were stronger [2388] than we; but [0199] let us fight [3898] against them in the plain, [4334] and surely [3808] we shall be stronger [2388] than they.
24
And do [6213] this thing, [1697] Take the kings [4428] away, [5493] every man [0376] out of his place, [4725] and put [7760] captains [6346] in their rooms:
25
And number [4487] thee an army, [2428] like the army [2428] that thou hast lost, [5307] horse [5483] for horse, [5483] and chariot [7393] for chariot: [7393] and we will fight [3898] against them [0854] in the plain, [4334] [and] surely we shall be stronger [2388] than they. And he hearkened [8085] unto their voice, [6963] and did [6213] so.
26
And it came to pass at the return [8666] of the year, [8141] that Benhadad [1130] numbered [6485] the Syrians, [0758] and went up [5927] to Aphek, [0663] to fight [4421] against Israel. [3478]
27
And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] were numbered, [6485] and were all present, [3557] and went [3212] against [7125] them: and the children [1121] of Israel [3478] pitched [2583] before them like two [8147] little flocks [2835] of kids; [5795] but the Syrians [0758] filled [4390] the country. [0776]
28
And there came [5066] a man [0376] of God, [0430] and spake [0559] unto the king [4428] of Israel, [3478] and said, [0559] Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] Because the Syrians [0758] have said, [0559] The LORD [3068] [is] God [0430] of the hills, [2022] but he [is] not God [0430] of the valleys, [6010] therefore will I deliver [5414] all this great [1419] multitude [1995] into thine hand, [3027] and ye shall know [3045] that I [am] the LORD. [3068]
29
And they pitched [2583] one [0428] over against [5227] the other [0428] seven [7651] days. [3117] And [so] it was, that in the seventh [7637] day [3117] the battle [4421] was joined: [7126] and the children [1121] of Israel [3478] slew [5221] of the Syrians [0758] an hundred [3967] thousand [0505] footmen [7273] in one [0259] day. [3117]
30
But the rest [3498] fled [5127] to Aphek, [0663] into the city; [5892] and [there] a wall [2346] fell [5307] upon twenty [6242] and seven [7651] thousand [0505] of the men [0376] [that were] left. [3498] And Benhadad [1130] fled, [5127] and came [0935] into the city, [5892] into an inner [2315] chamber. [2315]
31
And his servants [5650] said [0559] unto him, Behold now, we have heard [8085] that the kings [4428] of the house [1004] of Israel [3478] [are] merciful [2617] kings: [4428] let us, I pray thee, put [7760] sackcloth [8242] on our loins, [4975] and ropes [2256] upon our heads, [7218] and go out [3318] to the king [4428] of Israel: [3478] peradventure he will save [2421] thy life. [5315]
32
So they girded [2296] sackcloth [8242] on their loins, [4975] and [put] ropes [2256] on their heads, [7218] and came [0935] to the king [4428] of Israel, [3478] and said, [0559] Thy servant [5650] Benhadad [1130] saith, [0559] I pray thee, let me [5315] live. [2421] And he said, [0559] [Is] he yet alive? [2416] he [is] my brother. [0251]
33
Now the men [0582] did diligently observe [5172] whether [any thing would come] from him, and did hastily [4116] catch [2480] [it]: and they said, [0559] Thy brother [0251] Benhadad. [1130] Then he said, [0559] Go [0935] ye, bring [3947] him. Then Benhadad [1130] came forth [3318] to him; and he caused him to come up [5927] into the chariot. [4818]
34
And [Benhadad] said [0559] unto him, The cities, [5892] which my father [0001] took [3947] from thy father, [0001] I will restore; [7725] and thou shalt make [7760] streets [2351] for thee in Damascus, [1834] as my father [0001] made [7760] in Samaria. [8111] Then [said Ahab], I will send thee away [7971] with this covenant. [1285] So he made [3772] a covenant [1285] with him, and sent him away. [7971]
35
And a certain [0259] man [0376] of the sons [1121] of the prophets [5030] said [0559] unto his neighbour [7453] in the word [1697] of the LORD, [3068] Smite [5221] me, I pray thee. And the man [0376] refused [3985] to smite [5221] him.
36
Then said [0559] he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed [8085] the voice [6963] of the LORD, [3068] behold, as soon as thou art departed [1980] from me, a lion [0738] shall slay [5221] thee. And as soon as he was departed [3212] from him, [0681] a lion [0738] found [4672] him, and slew [5221] him.
37
Then he found [4672] another [0312] man, [0376] and said, [0559] Smite [5221] me, I pray thee. And the man [0376] smote [5221] him, so that in smiting [5221] he wounded [6481] [him].
38
So the prophet [5030] departed, [3212] and waited [5975] for the king [4428] by the way, [1870] and disguised [2664] himself with ashes [0666] upon his face. [5869]
39
And as the king [4428] passed by, [5674] he cried [6817] unto the king: [4428] and he said, [0559] Thy servant [5650] went out [3318] into the midst [7130] of the battle; [4421] and, behold, a man [0376] turned aside, [5493] and brought [0935] a man [0376] unto me, and said, [0559] Keep [8104] this man: [0376] if by any means [6485] he be missing, [6485] then shall thy life [5315] be for his life, [5315] or else thou shalt pay [8254] a talent [3603] of silver. [3701]
40
And as thy servant [5650] was busy [6213] here and there, he was gone. [0369] And the king [4428] of Israel [3478] said [0559] unto him, So [shall] thy judgment [4941] [be]; thyself hast decided [2782] [it].
41
And he hasted, [4116] and took the ashes [0666] away [5493] from his face; [5869] and the king [4428] of Israel [3478] discerned [5234] him that he [was] of the prophets. [5030]
42
And he said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] Because thou hast let go [7971] out of [thy] hand [3027] a man [0376] whom I appointed to utter destruction, [2764] therefore thy life [5315] shall go for his life, [5315] and thy people [5971] for his people. [5971]
43
And the king [4428] of Israel [3478] went [3212] to his house [1004] heavy [5620] and displeased, [2198] and came [0935] to Samaria. [8111]
