mkjv@1Kings:20:1 @ And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together. And thirty-two kings [were] with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and laid siege to Samaria, and warred against it.

mkjv@1Kings:20:2 @ And [he] sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, and to the city, and said to him, Ben-hadad says this:

mkjv@1Kings:20:3 @ Your silver and your gold [are] mine, your wives also and your sons, the best are mine.

mkjv@1Kings:20:4 @ And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O King, according to your saying I [am] yours and all that I have.

mkjv@1Kings:20:5 @ And the messengers came again and said, Ben-hadad speaks in this way, saying, Although I have sent to you saying, You shall deliver me your silver and your gold and your wives and your sons,

mkjv@1Kings:20:6 @ yet I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants. And it shall be, whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put [it] in their hand and take it away.

mkjv@1Kings:20:7 @ And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, Please mark and see how this one seeks mischief. For he sent to me for my wives and for my sons, and for my silver and for my gold. And I did not keep them back from him.

mkjv@1Kings:20:8 @ And all the elders and all the people said to him, Do not listen nor consent!

mkjv@1Kings:20:9 @ And he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers left and brought him word again.

mkjv@1Kings:20:10 @ And Ben-hadad sent to him and said, May the gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.

mkjv@1Kings:20:11 @ And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell [him], Do not let him who girds on boast himself like the one who loosens [his armor].

mkjv@1Kings:20:12 @ And it happened he heard this word, and he [was] drinking, he and the kings in the booths, he said to his servants, Set [in order], and they set in order against the city. And they placed the engines against the city.
