1 Kings 20:13-30

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}
