@ And the
prophet
came
to the
king
of
Israel
, and
said
unto him,
Go
,
strengthen
thyself, and
mark
, and
see
what thou
doest
: for at the
return
of the
year
the
king
of
Syria
will come
up
against thee.
strkjv@1Kings:20:23
@ And the
servants
of the
king
of
Syria
said
unto him, Their
gods
are
gods
of the
hills
; therefore they were
stronger
than we;
but
let us
fight
against them in the
plain
, and
surely
we shall be
stronger
than they.
strkjv@1Kings:20:24
@ And
do
this
thing
,
Take
the
kings
away, every
man
out of his
place
, and
put
captains
in their rooms:
strkjv@1Kings:20:25
@ And
number
thee an
army
, like the
army
that thou hast
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
unto their
voice
, and did
so
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:26
@ And it came to pass at the
return
of the
year
, that
Benhadad
Ben-
numbered
the
Syrians
, and went
up
to
Aphek
, to
fight
against
Israel
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:27
@ And the
children
of
Israel
were
numbered
, and were all
present
, and
went
against
them: and the
children
of
Israel
pitched
before them like
two
little
flocks
of
kids
; but the
Syrians
filled
the
country
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:28
@ And there
came
a
man
of
God
, and
spake
unto the
king
of
Israel
, and
said
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
, Because the
Syrians
have
said
, The
LORD
is
God
of the
hills
, but he is not
God
of the
valleys
, therefore will I
deliver
all this
great
multitude
into thine
hand
, and ye shall
know
that I am the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:29
@ And they
pitched
one
el- over
against
the
other
el-
seven
days
. And so it was, that in the
seventh
day
the
battle
was
joined
: and the
children
of
Israel
slew
of the
Syrians
an
hundred
thousand
footmen
in
one
day
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:30
@ But the
rest
fled
to
Aphek
, into the
city
; and there a
wall
fell
upon
twenty
and
seven
thousand
of the
men
that were
left
. And
Benhadad
Ben-
fled
, and
came
into the
city
, into an
inner
chamber
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:31
@ And his
servants
said
unto him, Behold now, we have
heard
that the
kings
of the
house
of
Israel
are
merciful
kings
: let us, I pray thee,
put
sackcloth
on our
loins
, and
ropes
upon our
heads
, and go
out
to the
king
of
Israel
: peradventure he will
save
thy
life
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:32
@ So they
girded
sackcloth
on their
loins
, and put
ropes
on their
heads
, and
came
to the
king
of
Israel
, and
said
, Thy
servant
Benhadad
Ben-
saith
, I pray thee, let me
live
. And he
said
, Is he yet
alive
? he is my
brother
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:33
@ Now the
men
did diligently
observe
whether any thing would come from him, and did
hastily
catch
it: and they
said
, Thy
brother
Benhadad
Ben-. Then he
said
,
Go
ye,
bring
him. Then
Benhadad
Ben- came
forth
to him; and he caused him to come
up
into the
chariot
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:34
@ And Benhadad
said
unto him, The
cities
, which my
father
took
from thy
father
, I will
restore
; and thou shalt
make
streets
for thee in
Damascus
, as my
father
made
in
Samaria
. Then said Ahab, I will send thee
away
with this
covenant
. So he
made
a
covenant
with him, and sent him
away
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:35
@ And a
certain
man
of the
sons
of the
prophets
said
unto his
neighbour
in the
word
of the
LORD
,
Smite
me, I pray thee. And the
man
refused
to
smite
him.
strkjv@1Kings:20:36
@ Then
said
he unto him, Because thou hast not
obeyed
the
voice
of the
LORD
, behold, as soon as thou art
departed
from me, a
lion
shall
slay
thee. And as soon as he was
departed
from
him
, a
lion
found
him, and
slew
him.
strkjv@1Kings:20:37
@ Then he
found
another
man
, and
said
,
Smite
me, I pray thee. And the
man
smote
him, so that in
smiting
he
wounded
him.
strkjv@1Kings:20:38
@ So the
prophet
departed
, and
waited
for the
king
by the
way
, and
disguised
himself with
ashes
upon his
face
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:39
@ And as the
king
passed
by
, he
cried
unto the
king
: and he
said
, Thy
servant
went
out
into the
midst
of the
battle
; and, behold, a
man
turned
aside
, and
brought
a
man
unto me, and
said
,
Keep
this
man
: if by any
means
he be
missing
, then shall thy
life
be for his
life
, or else thou shalt
pay
a
talent
of
silver
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:40
@ And as thy
servant
was
busy
here and there, he was
gone
. And the
king
of
Israel
said
unto him, So shall thy
judgment
be; thyself hast
decided
it.
strkjv@1Kings:20:41
@ And he
hasted
, and took the
ashes
away
from his
face
; and the
king
of
Israel
discerned
him that he was of the
prophets
.
strkjv@1Kings:20:42
@ And he
said
unto him, Thus
saith
the
LORD
, Because thou hast let
go
out of thy
hand
a
man
whom I appointed to utter
destruction
, therefore thy
life
shall go for his
life
, and thy
people
for his
people
