11:020:002 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city,
           and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,

11:020:003 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy
           children, even the goodliest, are mine.

11:020:004 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king,
           according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.

11:020:005 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh
           Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou
           shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and
           thy children;

11:020:006 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.

11:020:007 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.

11:020:008 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken
           not unto him, nor consent.

11:020:009 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, 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.

11:020:010 And Benhadad 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.

11:020:011 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.

11:020:012 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.

11:020:013 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.

11:020:014 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.

11:020:015 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.
