⮝ 1 Kings

⮜ 1 Kings 19 | 1 Kings 21 ⮞

1 Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it. 1 Kings 20:1WEB
2 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says, 1 Kings 20:2WEB
3 ‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’” 1 Kings 20:3WEB
4 The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.” 1 Kings 20:4WEB
5 The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children; 1 Kings 20:5WEB
6 but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.”’” 1 Kings 20:6WEB
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.” 1 Kings 20:7WEB
8 All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t consent.” 1 Kings 20:8WEB
9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message. 1 Kings 20:9WEB
10 Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.” 1 Kings 20:10WEB
11 The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.’” 1 Kings 20:11WEB
12 When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared to attack the city. 1 Kings 20:12WEB
13 Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “YHWH says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am YHWH.’” 1 Kings 20:13WEB
14 Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “YHWH says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.” 1 Kings 20:14WEB
15 Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand. 1 Kings 20:15WEB
16 They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him. 1 Kings 20:16WEB
17 The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.” 1 Kings 20:17WEB
18 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.” 1 Kings 20:18WEB
19 So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them. 1 Kings 20:19WEB
20 They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen. 1 Kings 20:20WEB
21 The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter. 1 Kings 20:21WEB
22 The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.” 1 Kings 20:22WEB
23 The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they. 1 Kings 20:23WEB
24 Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place. 1 Kings 20:24WEB
25 Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened to their voice and did so. 1 Kings 20:25WEB
26 At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel. 1 Kings 20:26WEB
27 The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, but the Syrians filled the country. 1 Kings 20:27WEB
28 A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “YHWH says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “YHWH is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am YHWH.’” 1 Kings 20:28WEB
29 They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day. 1 Kings 20:29WEB
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room. 1 Kings 20:30WEB
31 His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life.” 1 Kings 20:31WEB
32 So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.” 1 Kings 20:32WEB
33 Now the men observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot. 1 Kings 20:33WEB
34 Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go. 1 Kings 20:34WEB
35 A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by YHWH’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike him. 1 Kings 20:35WEB
36 Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed YHWH’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed him. 1 Kings 20:36WEB
37 Then he found another man, and said, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and wounded him. 1 Kings 20:37WEB
38 So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes. 1 Kings 20:38WEB
39 As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’ 1 Kings 20:39WEB
40 As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be. You yourself have decided it.” 1 Kings 20:40WEB
41 He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets. 1 Kings 20:41WEB
42 He said to him, “YHWH says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’” 1 Kings 20:42WEB
43 The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria. 1 Kings 20:43WEB
