1 Kings 20:22-34

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}
