| [4]And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], My lordH113, O kingH4428, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I haveH1697. |
[No book] |
| [5]And the messengersH4397 came againH7725[H8799], and saidH559[H8799], Thus speakethH559[H8804] BenhadadH1130, sayingH559[H8800], Although I have sentH7971[H8804] unto thee, sayingH559[H8800], Thou shalt deliverH5414[H8799] me thy silverH3701, and thy goldH2091, and thy wivesH802, and thy childrenH1121; |

And the messengersH4397 departedH3212[H8799], and broughtH7725 him wordH1697 againH7725.[H8686] |
[No book] |

[No book] |
| [12]And it came to pass, when Benhadad heardH8085[H8800] this messageH1697, as he was drinkingH8354[H8802], he and the kingsH4428 in the pavilionsH5521, that he saidH559[H8799] unto his servantsH5650, SetH7760[H8798] yourselves in array.

[No book] |
| [15]Then he numberedH6485[H8799] the young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082, and they were twoH8147 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 twoH8147: and afterH310 them he numberedH6485[H8804] all the peopleH5971, even all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, being sevenH7651 thousandH505. |
[No book] |
| [16]And they went outH3318[H8799] at noonH6672. But BenhadadH1130 was drinkingH8354[H8802] himself drunkH7910 in the pavilionsH5521, he and the kingsH4428, the thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 kingsH4428 that helpedH5826 himH8802. |
[No book] |
| [17]And the young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082 went outH3318[H8799] firstH7223; and BenhadadH1130 sent outH7971[H8799], and they toldH5046[H8686] him, sayingH559[H8800], There are menH582 come outH3318[H8804] of SamariaH8111. |
[No book] |

[No book] |
| [19]So these young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082 came outH3318[H8804] of the cityH5892, and the armyH2428 which followed themH310. |

[No book] |
| [23]And the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 saidH559[H8804] unto him, Their godsH430 are godsH430 of the hillsH2022; therefore they were strongerH2388[H8804] than we; butH199 let us fightH3898[H8735] against them in the plainH4334, and surelyH3808 we shall be strongerH2388 than theyH8799. |
[No book] |
| [24]And doH6213[H8798] this thingH1697, TakeH5493[H8685] the kingsH4428 away, every manH376 out of his placeH4725, and putH7760[H8798] captains in their roomsH6346: |
[No book] |

And he hearkenedH8085[H8799] unto their voiceH6963, and did soH6213.[H8799] |
[No book] |
| [26]And it came to pass at the returnH8666 of the yearH8141, that BenhadadH1130 numberedH6485[H8799] the SyriansH758, and went upH5927[H8799] to AphekH663, to fightH4421 against IsraelH3478. |

| [28]And there cameH5066[H8799] a manH376 of GodH430, and spakeH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559[H8799], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Because the SyriansH758 have saidH559[H8804], The LORDH3068 is GodH430 of the hillsH2022, but he is not GodH430 of the valleysH6010, therefore will I deliverH5414[H8804] all this greatH1419 multitudeH1995 into thine handH3027, and ye shall knowH3045[H8804] that I am the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
| [29]And they pitchedH2583[H8799] oneH428 over againstH5227 the otherH428 sevenH7651 daysH3117. And so it was, that in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 the battleH4421 was joinedH7126[H8799]: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slewH5221[H8686] of the SyriansH758 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273 in oneH259 dayH3117. |

| [30]But the restH3498[H8737] fledH5127[H8799] to AphekH663, into the cityH5892; and there a wallH2346 fellH5307[H8799] upon twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 of the menH376 that were leftH3498[H8737]. And BenhadadH1130 fledH5127[H8804], and cameH935[H8799] into the cityH5892, into an innerH2315 chamberH2315. |
[No book] |
| [31]And his servantsH5650 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Behold now, we have heardH8085[H8804] that the kingsH4428 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are mercifulH2617 kingsH4428: let us, I pray thee, putH7760[H8799] sackclothH8242 on our loinsH4975, and ropesH2256 upon our headsH7218, and go outH3318[H8799] to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will saveH2421[H8762] thy lifeH5315. |
[No book] |
| [32]So they girdedH2296[H8799] sackclothH8242 on their loinsH4975, and put ropesH2256 on their headsH7218, and cameH935[H8799] to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559[H8799], Thy servantH5650 BenhadadH1130 saithH559[H8804], I pray thee, let me liveH2421[H8799][H5315].

[No book] |
| [33]Now the menH582 did diligently observeH5172[H8762] whether any thing would come from him, and did hastilyH4116[H8762] catchH2480[H8686] it: and they saidH559[H8799], Thy brotherH251 BenhadadH1130. Then he saidH559[H8799], GoH935[H8798] ye, bringH3947[H8798] him. Then BenhadadH1130 came forthH3318[H8799] to him; and he caused him to come upH5927[H8686] into the chariotH4818. |

Then said Ahab, I will send thee awayH7971[H8762] with this covenantH1285. So he madeH3772[H8799] a covenantH1285 with him, and sent him awayH7971.[H8762] |
