1 Kings 20:8

20:8 All the leaders and people said to him, “Do not give in or agree to his demands.” ¹ 

1 Kings 20:11

20:11 The king of Israel replied, “Tell him the one who puts on his battle gear should not boast like one who is taking it off.” ² 

¹ tn Heb “Do not listen and do not be willing.”

² sn The point of the saying is that someone who is still preparing for a battle should not boast as if he has already won the battle. A modern parallel would be, “Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.”
