1 Kings 20

And Benhadad
<01130>

the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

gathered
<06908> (0)

all his host
<02428>

together
<06908> (8804)_:

and [there were] thirty
<07970>

and two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

with him, and horses
<05483>_,

and chariots
<07393>_:

and he went up
<05927> (8799)

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

Samaria
<08111>_,

and warred
<03898> (8735)

against it.

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

into the city
<05892>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

Benhadad
<01130>_,

Thy silver
<03701>

and thy gold
<02091>

[is] mine; thy wives
<0802>

also and thy children
<01121>_,

[even] the goodliest
<02896>_,

[are] mine.

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

My lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

according to thy saying
<01697>_,

I [am] thine, and all that I have.

And the messengers
<04397>

came again
<07725> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)

Benhadad
<01130>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Although I have sent
<07971> (8804)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt deliver
<05414> (8799)

me thy silver
<03701>_,

and thy gold
<02091>_,

and thy wives
<0802>_,

and thy children
<01121>_;

Yet I will send
<07971> (8799)

my servants
<05650>

unto thee to morrow
<04279>

about this time
<06256>_,

and they shall search
<02664> (8765)

thine house
<01004>_,

and the houses
<01004>

of thy servants
<05650>_;

and it shall be
<01961> (8804)_,

[that] whatsoever is pleasant
<04261>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

they shall put
<07760> (8799)

[it] in their hand
<03027>_,

and take [it] away
<03947> (8804)_.

{pleasant: Heb. desirable}

Then the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

called
<07121> (8799)

all the elders
<02205>

of the land
<0776>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Mark
<03045> (8798)_,

I pray you, and see
<07200> (8798)

how this [man] seeketh
<01245> (8764)

mischief
<07451>_:

for he sent
<07971> (8804)

unto me for my wives
<0802>_,

and for my children
<01121>_,

and for my silver
<03701>_,

and for my gold
<02091>_;

and I denied
<04513> (8804)

him not. {I denied...: Heb. I kept not back from him}

And all the elders
<02205>

and all the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Hearken
<08085> (8799)

not [unto him], nor consent
<014> (8799)_.

Wherefore he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the messengers
<04397>

of Benhadad
<01130>_,

Tell
<0559> (8798)

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

All that thou didst send
<07971> (8804)

for to thy servant
<05650>

at the first
<07223>

I will do
<06213> (8799)_:

but this thing
<01697>

I may
<03201> (8799)

not do
<06213> (8800)_.

And the messengers
<04397>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and brought
<07725> (0)

him word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

And Benhadad
<01130>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The gods
<0430>

do so
<06213> (8799)

unto me, and more also
<03254> (8686)_,

if the dust
<06083>

of Samaria
<08111>

shall suffice
<05606> (8799)

for handfuls
<08168>

for all the people
<05971>

that follow
<07272>

me. {follow...: Heb. are at my feet}

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Tell
<01696> (8761)

[him], Let not him that girdeth
<02296> (8802)

on [his harness] boast
<01984> (8691)

himself as he that putteth it off
<06605> (8764)_.

And it came to pass, when [Benhadad] heard
<08085> (8800)

this message
<01697>_,

as he [was] drinking
<08354> (8802)_,

he and the kings
<04428>

in the pavilions
<05521>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Set
<07760> (8798)

[yourselves in array]. And they set
<07760> (8799)

[themselves in array] against the city
<05892>_.

{message: Heb. word} {pavilions: or, tents} {Set yourselves...: or, Place the engines. And they placed the engines}

And, behold, there came
<05066> (8738)

a
<0259>

prophet
<05030>

unto Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)

all this great
<01419>

multitude
<01995>_?

behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)

it into thine hand
<03027>

this day
<03117>_;

and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

{came: Heb. approached}

And Ahab
<0256>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

By whom? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[Even] by the young men
<05288>

of the princes
<08269>

of the provinces
<04082>_.

Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who shall order
<0631> (8799)

the battle
<04421>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou. {young...: or, servants} {order: Heb. bind, or, tie}

Then he numbered
<06485> (8799)

the young men
<05288>

of the princes
<08269>

of the provinces
<04082>_,

and they were two
<08147>

hundred
<03967>

and thirty
<07970>

two
<08147>_:

and after
<0310>

them he numbered
<06485> (8804)

all the people
<05971>_,

[even] all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[being] seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>_.

And they went out
<03318> (8799)

at noon
<06672>_.

But Benhadad
<01130>

[was] drinking
<08354> (8802)

himself drunk
<07910>

in the pavilions
<05521>_,

he and the kings
<04428>_,

the thirty
<07970>

and two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

that helped
<05826> (8802)

him.

And the young men
<05288>

of the princes
<08269>

of the provinces
<04082>

went out
<03318> (8799)

first
<07223>_;

and Benhadad
<01130>

sent out
<07971> (8799)_,

and they told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

There are men
<0582>

come out
<03318> (8804)

of Samaria
<08111>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whether they be come out
<03318> (8804)

for peace
<07965>_,

take
<08610> (8798)

them alive
<02416>_;

or whether they be come out
<03318> (8804)

for war
<04421>_,

take
<08610> (8798)

them alive
<02416>_.

So these young men
<05288>

of the princes
<08269>

of the provinces
<04082>

came out
<03318> (8804)

of the city
<05892>_,

and the army
<02428>

which followed
<0310>

them.

And they slew
<05221> (8686)

every one
<0376>

his man
<0376>_:

and the Syrians
<0758>

fled
<05127> (8799)_;

and Israel
<03478>

pursued
<07291> (8799)

them: and Benhadad
<01130>

the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

escaped
<04422> (8735)

on an horse
<05483>

with the horsemen
<06571>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the horses
<05483>

and chariots
<07393>_,

and slew
<05221> (8689)

the Syrians
<0758>

with a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_.

And the prophet
<05030>

came
<05066> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

strengthen
<02388> (8690)

thyself, and mark
<03045> (8798)_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

what thou doest
<06213> (8799)_:

for at the return
<08666>

of the year
<08141>

the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

will come up
<05927> (8802)

against thee.

And the servants
<05650>

of the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto him, Their gods
<0430>

[are] gods
<0430>

of the hills
<02022>_;

therefore they were stronger
<02388> (8804)

than we; but
<0199>

let us fight
<03898> (8735)

against them in the plain
<04334>_,

and surely
<03808>

we shall be stronger
<02388> (8799)

than they.

And do
<06213> (8798)

this thing
<01697>_,

Take
<05493> (8685)

the kings
<04428>

away, every man
<0376>

out of his place
<04725>_,

and put
<07760> (8798)

captains
<06346>

in their rooms:

And number
<04487> (8799)

thee an army
<02428>_,

like the army
<02428>

that thou hast lost
<05307> (8802)_,

horse
<05483>

for horse
<05483>_,

and chariot
<07393>

for chariot
<07393>_:

and we will fight
<03898> (8735)

against
<0854>

them in the plain
<04334>_,

[and] surely we shall be stronger
<02388> (8799)

than they. And he hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto their voice
<06963>_,

and did so
<06213> (8799)_.

{that thou...: Heb. that was fallen}

And it came to pass at the return
<08666>

of the year
<08141>_,

that Benhadad
<01130>

numbered
<06485> (8799)

the Syrians
<0758>_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)

to Aphek
<0663>_,

to fight
<04421>

against Israel
<03478>_.

{to fight...: Heb. to the war with Israel}

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were numbered
<06485> (8719)_,

and were all present
<03557> (8791)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

them: and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

pitched
<02583> (8799)

before them like two
<08147>

little flocks
<02835>

of kids
<05795>_;

but the Syrians
<0758>

filled
<04390> (8765)

the country
<0776>_.

{were all...: or, were nourished}

And there came
<05066> (8799)

a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Because the Syrians
<0758>

have said
<0559> (8804)_,

The LORD
<03068>

[is] God
<0430>

of the hills
<02022>_,

but he [is] not God
<0430>

of the valleys
<06010>_,

therefore will I deliver
<05414> (8804)

all this great
<01419>

multitude
<01995>

into thine hand
<03027>_,

and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

And they pitched
<02583> (8799)

one
<0428>

over against
<05227>

the other
<0428>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_.

And [so] it was, that in the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>

the battle
<04421>

was joined
<07126> (8799)_:

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

slew
<05221> (8686)

of the Syrians
<0758>

an hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<07273>

in one
<0259>

day
<03117>_.

But the rest
<03498> (8737)

fled
<05127> (8799)

to Aphek
<0663>_,

into the city
<05892>_;

and [there] a wall
<02346>

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon twenty
<06242>

and seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

of the men
<0376>

[that were] left
<03498> (8737)_.

And Benhadad
<01130>

fled
<05127> (8804)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_,

into an inner
<02315>

chamber
<02315>_.

{into an...: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. into a chamber within a chamber}

And his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold now, we have heard
<08085> (8804)

that the kings
<04428>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

[are] merciful
<02617>

kings
<04428>_:

let us, I pray thee, put
<07760> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

on our loins
<04975>_,

and ropes
<02256>

upon our heads
<07218>_,

and go out
<03318> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_:

peradventure he will save
<02421> (8762)

thy life
<05315>_.

So they girded
<02296> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

on their loins
<04975>_,

and [put] ropes
<02256>

on their heads
<07218>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

Benhadad
<01130>

saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I pray thee, let me live
<02421> (8799) <05315>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] he yet alive
<02416>_?

he [is] my brother
<0251>_.

Now the men
<0582>

did diligently observe
<05172> (8762)

whether [any thing would come] from him, and did hastily
<04116> (8762)

catch
<02480> (8686)

[it]: and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy brother
<0251>

Benhadad
<01130>_.

Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<0935> (8798)

ye, bring
<03947> (8798)

him. Then Benhadad
<01130>

came forth
<03318> (8799)

to him; and he caused him to come up
<05927> (8686)

into the chariot
<04818>_.

And [Benhadad] said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The cities
<05892>_,

which my father
<01>

took
<03947> (8804)

from thy father
<01>_,

I will restore
<07725> (8686)_;

and thou shalt make
<07760> (8799)

streets
<02351>

for thee in Damascus
<01834>_,

as my father
<01>

made
<07760> (8804)

in Samaria
<08111>_.

Then [said Ahab], I will send thee away
<07971> (8762)

with this covenant
<01285>_.

So he made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

with him, and sent him away
<07971> (8762)_.

{streets: or, market places}

And a certain
<0259>

man
<0376>

of the sons
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto his neighbour
<07453>

in the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

Smite
<05221> (8685)

me, I pray thee. And the man
<0376>

refused
<03985> (8762)

to smite
<05221> (8687)

him.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

behold, as soon as thou art departed
<01980> (8802)

from me, a lion
<0738>

shall slay
<05221> (8689)

thee. And as soon as he was departed
<03212> (8799)

from him
<0681>_,

a lion
<0738>

found
<04672> (8799)

him, and slew
<05221> (8686)

him.

Then he found
<04672> (8799)

another
<0312>

man
<0376>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Smite
<05221> (8685)

me, I pray thee. And the man
<0376>

smote
<05221> (8686)

him, so that in smiting
<05221> (8687)

he wounded
<06481> (8800)

[him]. {so that...: Heb. smiting and wounding}

So the prophet
<05030>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and waited
<05975> (8799)

for the king
<04428>

by the way
<01870>_,

and disguised
<02664> (8691)

himself with ashes
<0666>

upon his face
<05869>_.

And as the king
<04428>

passed by
<05674> (8802)_,

he cried
<06817> (8804)

unto the king
<04428>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

went out
<03318> (8804)

into the midst
<07130>

of the battle
<04421>_;

and, behold, a man
<0376>

turned aside
<05493> (8804)_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

a man
<0376>

unto me, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Keep
<08104> (8798)

this man
<0376>_:

if by any means
<06485> (8736)

he be missing
<06485> (8735)_,

then shall thy life
<05315>

be for his life
<05315>_,

or else thou shalt pay
<08254> (8799)

a talent
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_.

{pay: Heb. weigh}

And as thy servant
<05650>

was busy
<06213> (8802)

here and there, he was gone
<0369>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, So [shall] thy judgment
<04941>

[be]; thyself hast decided
<02782> (8804)

[it]. {he was...: Heb. he was not}

And he hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and took the ashes
<0666>

away
<05493> (8686)

from his face
<05869>_;

and the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

discerned
<05234> (8686)

him that he [was] of the prophets
<05030>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Because thou hast let go
<07971> (8765)

out of [thy] hand
<03027>

a man
<0376>

whom I appointed to utter destruction
<02764>_,

therefore thy life
<05315>

shall go for his life
<05315>_,

and thy people
<05971>

for his people
<05971>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

to his house
<01004>

heavy
<05620>

and displeased
<02198>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_.
