1 Then Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army. And there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. And ascending, he fought against Samaria, and he besieged it.
2 And sending messengers into the city, to Ahab, the king of Israel,
3 he said: "Thus says Benhadad: Your silver and your gold is mine. And your wives and your best sons are mine."
4 And the king of Israel responded, "In agreement with your word, my lord the king, I am yours, with all that is mine."
