1Kings:19:1-8
nasb@1Kings:19:1 @Now Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria and fought against it.
nasb@1Kings:19:2 @Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, "Thus says Ben-hadad,
nasb@1Kings:19:3 @'Your silver and your gold are mine; your most beautiful wives and children are also mine.'"
nasb@1Kings:19:4 @The king of Israel replied, "It is according to your word, my lord, O king; I am yours, and all that I have."
nasb@1Kings:19:5 @Then the messengers returned and said, "Thus says Ben-hadad, 'Surely, I sent to you saying, "You shall give me your silver and your gold and your wives and your children,"
nasb@1Kings:19:6 @but about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants; and whatever is desirable in your eyes, they will take in their hand and carry away.'"
nasb@1Kings:19:7 @Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, "Please observe and see how this man is looking for trouble; for he sent to me for my wives and my children and my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him."
nasb@1Kings:19:8 @All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent."
