Ben Hadad Invades Israel
20:1 Now King Ben Hadad of Syria assembled all his army , along with thirty-two other kings with their horses and chariots . He marched against Samaria and besieged and attacked it.
20:2 He sent messengers to King Ahab of Israel , who was in the city .
20:3 He said to him, “This is what Ben Hadad says, ‘Your silver and your gold are mine , as well as the best of your wives and sons .’”
20:4 The king of Israel replied , “It is just as you say , my master , O king . I and all I own belong to you.”
20:5 The messengers came again and said , “This is what Ben Hadad says , ‘I sent this message to you, “You must give me your silver , gold , wives , and sons .”
20:6 But now at this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you and they will search through your palace and your servants ’ houses . They will carry away all your valuables .”
20:7 The king of Israel summoned all the leaders of the land and said , “Notice how this man is looking for trouble . Indeed , he demanded my wives , sons , silver , and gold , and I did not resist him.”
