1 Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram mustered his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he went up and besieged Samaria and attacked it.
2 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, ‘This is what Ben-Hadad says:
3 “Your silver and gold are mine, and the best of your wives and children are mine.” ’
4 The king of Israel answered, ‘Just as you say, my lord the king. I and all I have are yours.’
