*
So they went out at noon .
Meanwhile Ben-Hadad and the thirty-two kings helping him were getting drunk at the command post .
*
The young leaders of the provinces went out first .
And Ben-Hadad sent out a patrol ,
and they told him ,
saying , "
Men are coming out of Samaria !"
*
So he said , "
If they have come out for peace ,
take them alive ;
and if they have come out for war ,
take them alive ."
*
Then these young leaders of the provinces went out of the city with the army which followed them .
*
And each one killed his man ;
so the Syrians fled ,
and Israel pursued them ;
and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the cavalry .
*
Then the king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and chariots ,
and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter .
*
And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him , "
Go ,
strengthen yourself ;
take note ,
and see what you should do ,
for in the spring of the year the king of Syria will come up against you ."
