1 Then Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered all his host together; and there were thirty-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 hath Benhadad said,
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 word, I am thine and all that I have.
