@ And
Benhadad
Ben- the
king
of
Syria
gathered
all his
host
together
: and there were
thirty

two
kings
with him, and
horses
, and
chariots
: and he went
up
and
besieged
Samaria
, and
warred
against it.
strkjv@1Kings:20:2
@ And he
sent
messengers
to
Ahab
king
of
Israel
into the
city

said
unto him, Thus
saith
Benhadad
Ben-,
strkjv@1Kings:20:3
@ Thy
silver
and thy
gold
is mine; thy
wives
also and thy
children
, even the
goodliest
, are mine.
strkjv@1Kings:20:4
@ And the
king

Israel
answered

said
, My
lord
, O
king

saying

came
again

speaketh
Benhadad
Ben-,
saying

sent
unto thee,
saying
, Thou shalt
deliver
me thy
silver
, and thy
gold
, and thy
wives
, and thy
children
;
strkjv@1Kings:20:6
@ Yet I will
send
my

unto thee to
morrow
about this

search
thine
house

houses
of thy
servants

be
, that whatsoever is
pleasant
in thine
eyes

put
it in their
hand
, and take it
away

strkjv@1Kings:20:7
@ Then the
king
of
Israel
called
all the
elders
of the
land

said
,
Mark

see
how this man
seeketh
mischief
: for he
sent
unto me for my
wives
, and for my
children
, and for my
silver
, and for my
gold
; and I
denied
him not.
strkjv@1Kings:20:8
@ And all the

said
unto him,
Hearken
not unto him, nor
consent

said

Ben-,
Tell
my

king
, All that thou didst
send
for to thy
servant

I will
do
: but this
thing
I
may
not

departed

word
again

sent
unto him, and

so
unto me, and more
also
, if the
dust
of
Samaria
shall
suffice
for
handfuls
for all the
people
that
follow
me.

@ And the

Tell
him, Let not him that
girdeth
on his harness
boast
himself as he that putteth it
off

strkjv@1Kings:20:12
@ And it came to pass, when Benhadad
heard
this
message

drinking
, he and the
kings
in the
pavilions

said
unto his
servants
,
Set
yourselves in array. And they
set
themselves in array against the
city
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:13
@ And, behold, there
came
a
prophet
unto
Ahab
king
of
Israel
,
saying
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
, Hast thou
seen
all this
great
multitude
? behold, I will
deliver
it into thine
hand
this
day
; and thou shalt
know
that I am the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:14
@ And
Ahab
said

said

saith
the
LORD
, Even by the young

provinces

said
, Who shall
order
the
battle
? And he
answered
, Thou.
strkjv@1Kings:20:15
@ Then he
numbered
the young

two
hundred

thirty
two

after
them he
numbered
all the

seven
thousand

strkjv@1Kings:20:16
@ And they went
out
at
noon

Benhadad
Ben- was
drinking
himself
drunk
in the
pavilions
, he and the
kings
, the
thirty

two
kings
that
helped
him.
strkjv@1Kings:20:17
@ And the young

went
out

Benhadad
Ben- sent
out

told
him,
saying

men
come
out
of
Samaria
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:18

said
, Whether they be come
out
for
peace

take
them
alive
; or whether they be come
out

take
them
alive

out

them.
strkjv@1Kings:20:20

slew
