11:020:016 And they went out at noon.  But Benhadad was drinking himself
           drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two
           kings that helped him.

11:020:017 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out
           first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There
           are men come out of Samaria.

11:020:018 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them
           alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.

11:020:019 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of
           the city, and the army which followed them.

11:020:020 And they slew every one his man:  and the Syrians fled; and
           Israel pursued them:  and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on
           an horse with the horsemen.

11:020:021 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and
           chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.

11:020:022 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.

11:020:023 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.

11:020:024 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his
           place, and put captains in their rooms: 

11:020:025 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.

11:020:026 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad
           numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against
           Israel.

11:020:027 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.

11:020:028 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.

11:020:029 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.
