* 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 . * 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 saith , I pray thee , let me live . And he said , Is he yet alive ? he is my brother . * Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him , and did hastily catch it : and they said , Thy brother Benhadad . Then he said , Go ye , bring him . Then Benhadad came forth to him ; and he caused him to come up into the chariot . * 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 .
