1 Kings 20 (WEBP)

[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.
[2] He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says,
[3] ‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’”
[4] The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.”
[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;
[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.”’”
[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.”
[8] All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t consent.”
[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.
[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.”
[11] The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.’”
[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.
[13] Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.’”
[14] Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “Yahweh says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”
[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.
[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.
[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.”
[18] He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
[19] So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
[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.
[21] The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
[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.”
[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.
[24] Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
[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.
[26] At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
[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.
[28] A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “Yahweh 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 Yahweh.’”
[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.
[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.
[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.”
[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.”
[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.
[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.
[35] A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by Yahweh’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike him.
[36] Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed Yahweh’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.
[37] Then he found another man, and said, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and wounded him.
[38] So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
[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.’
[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.”
[41] He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
[42] He said to him, “Yahweh 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.’”
[43] The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.

1 Kings 20:39 A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds

1 Kings 20 (KJVS)

[1] And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: () and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up () and besieged () Samaria, and warred () against it.
[2] And he sent () messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said () unto him, Thus saith () Ben-hadad,
[3] Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
[4] And the king of Israel answered () and said, () My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
[5] And the messengers came again, () and said, () Thus speaketh () Ben-hadad, saying, () Although I have sent () unto thee, saying, () Thou shalt deliver () me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
[6] yet I will send () my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search () thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, () that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put () it in their hand, and take it away. ()
[7] Then the king of Israel called () all the elders of the land, and said, () Mark, () I pray you, and see () how this man seeketh () mischief: for he sent () unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied () him not.
[8] And all the elders and all the people said () unto him, Hearken () not unto him, nor consent. ()
[9] Wherefore he said () unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell () my lord the king, All that thou didst send () for to thy servant at the first I will do: () but this thing I may () not do. () And the messengers departed, () and brought him word again. ()
[10] And Ben-hadad sent () unto him, and said, () The gods do so () unto me, and more also, () if the dust of Samaria shall suffice () for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
[11] And the king of Israel answered () and said, () Tell () him, Let not him that girdeth () on his harness boast () himself as he that putteth it off. ()
[12] And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard () this message, as he was drinking, () he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said () unto his servants, Set () yourselves in array. And they set () themselves in array against the city.
[13] And, behold, there came () a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, () Thus saith () the Lord, Hast thou seen () all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver () it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know () that I am the Lord.
[14] And Ahab said, () By whom? And he said, () Thus saith () the Lord, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, () Who shall order () the battle? And he answered, () Thou.
[15] Then he numbered () the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered () all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
[16] And they went out () at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking () himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped () him.
[17] And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out () first; and Ben-hadad sent out, () and they told () him, saying, () There are men come out () of Samaria.
[18] And he said, () Whether they be come out () for peace, take () them alive; or whether they be come out () for war, take () them alive.
[19] So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out () of the city, and the army which followed them.
[20] And they slew () every one his man: and the Syrians fled; () and Israel pursued () them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped () on an horse with the horsemen.
[21] And the king of Israel went out, () and smote () the horses and chariots, and slew () the Syrians with a great slaughter.
[22] And the prophet came () to the king of Israel, and said () unto him, Go, () strengthen () thyself, and mark, () and see () what thou doest: () for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up () against thee.
[23] And the servants of the king of Syria said () unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger () than we; but let us fight () against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger () than they.
[24] And do () this thing, Take () the kings away, every man out of his place, and put () captains in their rooms:
[25] and number () thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, () horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight () against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger () than they. And he hearkened () unto their voice, and did so. ()
[26] And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered () the Syrians, and went up () to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
[27] And the children of Israel were numbered, () and were all present, () and went () against () them: and the children of Israel pitched () before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled () the country.
[28] And there came () a man of God, and spake () unto the king of Israel, and said, () Thus saith () the Lord, Because the Syrians have said, () The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver () all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know () that I am the Lord.
[29] And they pitched () one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: () and the children of Israel slew () of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
[30] But the rest () fled () to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell () upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. () And Ben-hadad fled, () and came () into the city, into an inner chamber.
[31] And his servants said () unto him, Behold now, we have heard () that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put () sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out () to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save () thy life.
[32] So they girded () sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came () to the king of Israel, and said, () Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, () I pray thee, let me live. () And he said, () Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
[33] Now the men did diligently observe () whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily () catch () it: and they said, () Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, () Go () ye, bring () him. Then Ben-hadad came forth () to him; and he caused him to come up () into the chariot.
[34] And Ben-hadad said () unto him, The cities, which my father took () from thy father, I will restore; () and thou shalt make () streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made () in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away () with this covenant. So he made () a covenant with him, and sent him away. ()
[35] And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said () unto his neighbour in the word of the Lord, Smite () me, I pray thee. And the man refused () to smite () him.
[36] Then said () he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed () the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as thou art departed () from me, a lion shall slay () thee. And as soon as he was departed () from him, a lion found () him, and slew () him.
[37] Then he found () another man, and said, () Smite () me, I pray thee. And the man smote () him, so that in smiting () he wounded () him.
[38] So the prophet departed, () and waited () for the king by the way, and disguised () himself with ashes upon his face.
[39] And as the king passed by, () he cried () unto the king: and he said, () Thy servant went out () into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, () and brought () a man unto me, and said, () Keep () this man: if by any means () he be missing, () then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay () a talent of silver.
[40] And as thy servant was busy () here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said () unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided () it.
[41] And he hasted, () and took the ashes away () from his face; and the king of Israel discerned () him that he was of the prophets.
[42] And he said () unto him, Thus saith () the Lord, Because thou hast let go () out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
[43] And the king of Israel went () to his house heavy and displeased, and came () to Samaria.

[1] [21:1] και συνηθροισεν υιος αδερ πασαν την δυναμιν αυτου και ανεβη και περιεκαθισεν επι σαμαρειαν και τριακοντα και δυο βασιλεις μετ αυτου και πας ιππος και αρμα και ανεβησαν και περιεκαθισαν επι σαμαρειαν και επολεμησαν επ αυτην
[2] [21:2] και απεστειλεν προς αχααβ βασιλεα ισραηλ εις την πολιν
[3] [21:3] και ειπεν προς αυτον ταδε λεγει υιος αδερ το αργυριον σου και το χρυσιον σου εμον εστιν και αι γυναικες σου και τα τεκνα σου εμα εστιν
[4] [21:4] και απεκριθη ο βασιλευς ισραηλ και ειπεν καθως ελαλησας κυριε βασιλευ σος εγω ειμι και παντα τα εμα
[5] [21:5] και ανεστρεψαν οι αγγελοι και ειπον ταδε λεγει υιος αδερ εγω απεσταλκα προς σε λεγων το αργυριον σου και το χρυσιον σου και τας γυναικας σου και τα τεκνα σου δωσεις εμοι
[6] [21:6] οτι ταυτην την ωραν αυριον αποστελω τους παιδας μου προς σε και ερευνησουσιν τον οικον σου και τους οικους των παιδων σου και εσται τα επιθυμηματα οφθαλμων αυτων εφ α αν επιβαλωσι τας χειρας αυτων και λημψονται
[7] [21:7] και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ παντας τους πρεσβυτερους και ειπεν γνωτε δη και ιδετε οτι κακιαν ουτος ζητει οτι απεσταλκεν προς με περι των γυναικων μου και περι των υιων μου και περι των θυγατερων μου το αργυριον μου και το χρυσιον μου ουκ απεκωλυσα απ αυτου
[8] [21:8] και ειπαν αυτω οι πρεσβυτεροι και πας ο λαος μη ακουσης και μη θελησης
[9] [21:9] και ειπεν τοις αγγελοις υιου αδερ λεγετε τω κυριω υμων παντα οσα απεσταλκας προς τον δουλον σου εν πρωτοις ποιησω το δε ρημα τουτο ου δυνησομαι ποιησαι και απηραν οι ανδρες και επεστρεψαν αυτω λογον
[10] [21:10] και ανταπεστειλεν προς αυτον υιος αδερ λεγων ταδε ποιησαι μοι ο θεος και ταδε προσθειη ει εκποιησει ο χους σαμαρειας ταις αλωπεξιν παντι τω λαω τοις πεζοις μου
[11] [21:11] και απεκριθη ο βασιλευς ισραηλ και ειπεν ικανουσθω μη καυχασθω ο κυρτος ως ο ορθος
[12] [21:12] και εγενετο οτε απεκριθη αυτω τον λογον τουτον πινων ην αυτος και παντες οι βασιλεις μετ αυτου εν σκηναις και ειπεν τοις παισιν αυτου οικοδομησατε χαρακα και εθεντο χαρακα επι την πολιν
[13] [21:13] και ιδου προφητης εις προσηλθεν τω βασιλει ισραηλ και ειπεν ταδε λεγει κυριος ει εορακας παντα τον οχλον τον μεγαν τουτον ιδου εγω διδωμι αυτον σημερον εις χειρας σας και γνωση οτι εγω κυριος
[14] [21:14] και ειπεν αχααβ εν τινι και ειπεν ταδε λεγει κυριος εν τοις παιδαριοις των αρχοντων των χωρων και ειπεν αχααβ τις συναψει τον πολεμον και ειπεν συ
[15] [21:15] και επεσκεψατο αχααβ τα παιδαρια των αρχοντων των χωρων και εγενοντο διακοσιοι και τριακοντα και μετα ταυτα επεσκεψατο τον λαον παν υιον δυναμεως εξηκοντα χιλιαδας

[17] [21:17] και εξηλθον παιδαρια αρχοντων των χωρων εν πρωτοις και αποστελλουσιν και απαγγελλουσιν τω βασιλει συριας λεγοντες ανδρες εξεληλυθασιν εκ σαμαρειας
[18] [21:18] και ειπεν αυτοις ει εις ειρηνην ουτοι εκπορευονται συλλαβετε αυτους ζωντας και ει εις πολεμον ζωντας συλλαβετε αυτους
[19] [21:19] και μη εξελθατωσαν εκ της πολεως τα παιδαρια αρχοντων των χωρων και η δυναμις οπισω αυτων
[20] [21:20] επαταξεν εκαστος τον παρ αυτου και εδευτερωσεν εκαστος τον παρ αυτου και εφυγεν συρια και κατεδιωξεν αυτους ισραηλ και σωζεται υιος αδερ βασιλευς συριας εφ ιππου ιππεως
[21] [21:21] και εξηλθεν βασιλευς ισραηλ και ελαβεν παντας τους ιππους και τα αρματα και επαταξεν πληγην μεγαλην εν συρια
[22] [21:22] και προσηλθεν ο προφητης προς βασιλεα ισραηλ και ειπεν κραταιου και γνωθι και ιδε τι ποιησεις οτι επιστρεφοντος του ενιαυτου υιος αδερ βασιλευς συριας αναβαινει επι σε
[23] [21:23] και οι παιδες βασιλεως συριας ειπον θεος ορεων θεος ισραηλ και ου θεος κοιλαδων δια τουτο εκραταιωσεν υπερ ημας εαν δε πολεμησωμεν αυτους κατ ευθυ ει μη κραταιωσομεν υπερ αυτους

[27] [21:27] και οι υιοι ισραηλ επεσκεπησαν και παρεγενοντο εις απαντην αυτων και παρενεβαλεν ισραηλ εξ εναντιας αυτων ωσει δυο ποιμνια αιγων και συρια επλησεν την γην
[28] [21:28] και προσηλθεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου και ειπεν τω βασιλει ισραηλ ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ ων ειπεν συρια θεος ορεων κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ και ου θεος κοιλαδων αυτος και δωσω την δυναμιν την μεγαλην ταυτην εις χειρα σην και γνωση οτι εγω κυριος
[29] [21:29] και παρεμβαλλουσιν ουτοι απεναντι τουτων επτα ημερας και εγενετο εν τη ημερα τη εβδομη και προσηγαγεν ο πολεμος και επαταξεν ισραηλ την συριαν εκατον χιλιαδας πεζων μια ημερα
[30] [21:30] και εφυγον οι καταλοιποι εις αφεκα εις την πολιν και επεσεν το τειχος επι εικοσι και επτα χιλιαδας ανδρων των καταλοιπων και υιος αδερ εφυγεν και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του κοιτωνος εις το ταμιειον
[31] [21:31] και ειπεν τοις παισιν αυτου οιδα οτι βασιλεις ισραηλ βασιλεις ελεους εισιν επιθωμεθα δη σακκους επι τας οσφυας ημων και σχοινια επι τας κεφαλας ημων και εξελθωμεν προς βασιλεα ισραηλ ει πως ζωογονησει τας ψυχας ημων
[32] [21:32] και περιεζωσαντο σακκους επι τας οσφυας αυτων και εθεσαν σχοινια επι τας κεφαλας αυτων και ειπον τω βασιλει ισραηλ δουλος σου υιος αδερ λεγει ζησατω δη η ψυχη μου και ειπεν ει ετι ζη αδελφος μου εστιν
[33] [21:33] και οι ανδρες οιωνισαντο και εσπευσαν και ανελεξαν τον λογον εκ του στοματος αυτου και ειπον αδελφος σου υιος αδερ και ειπεν εισελθατε και λαβετε αυτον και εξηλθεν προς αυτον υιος αδερ και αναβιβαζουσιν αυτον προς αυτον επι το αρμα
[34] [21:34] και ειπεν προς αυτον τας πολεις ας ελαβεν ο πατηρ μου παρα του πατρος σου αποδωσω σοι και εξοδους θησεις σαυτω εν δαμασκω καθως εθετο ο πατηρ μου εν σαμαρεια και εγω εν διαθηκη εξαποστελω σε και διεθετο αυτω διαθηκην και εξαπεστειλεν αυτον
[35] [21:35] και ανθρωπος εις εκ των υιων των προφητων ειπεν προς τον πλησιον αυτου εν λογω κυριου παταξον δη με και ουκ ηθελησεν ο ανθρωπος παταξαι αυτον
[36] [21:36] και ειπεν προς αυτον ανθ ων ουκ ηκουσας της φωνης κυριου ιδου συ αποτρεχεις απ εμου και παταξει σε λεων και απηλθεν απ αυτου και ευρισκει αυτον λεων και επαταξεν αυτον
[37] [21:37] και ευρισκει ανθρωπον αλλον και ειπεν παταξον με δη και επαταξεν αυτον ο ανθρωπος παταξας και συνετριψεν
[38] [21:38] και επορευθη ο προφητης και εστη τω βασιλει ισραηλ επι της οδου και κατεδησατο τελαμωνι τους οφθαλμους αυτου
[39] [21:39] και εγενετο ως ο βασιλευς παρεπορευετο και ουτος εβοα προς τον βασιλεα και ειπεν ο δουλος σου εξηλθεν επι την στρατιαν του πολεμου και ιδου ανηρ εισηγαγεν προς με ανδρα και ειπεν προς με φυλαξον τουτον τον ανδρα εαν δε εκπηδων εκπηδηση και εσται η ψυχη σου αντι της ψυχης αυτου η ταλαντον αργυριου στησεις
[40] [21:40] και εγενηθη περιεβλεψατο ο δουλος σου ωδε και ωδε και ουτος ουκ ην και ειπεν προς αυτον ο βασιλευς ισραηλ ιδου και τα ενεδρα παρ εμοι εφονευσας
[41] [21:41] και εσπευσεν και αφειλεν τον τελαμωνα απο των οφθαλμων αυτου και επεγνω αυτον ο βασιλευς ισραηλ οτι εκ των προφητων ουτος
[42] [21:42] και ειπεν προς αυτον ταδε λεγει κυριος διοτι εξηνεγκας συ ανδρα ολεθριον εκ χειρος σου και εσται η ψυχη σου αντι της ψυχης αυτου και ο λαος σου αντι του λαου αυτου
[43] [21:43] και απηλθεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ συγκεχυμενος και εκλελυμενος και ερχεται εις σαμαρειαν
