1 Kings 20:30-42

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>_.
