11:020:030 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall
           fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. 
           And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner
           chamber.

11:020:031 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that
           the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings:  let us, I
           pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our
           heads, and go out to the king of Israel:  peradventure he will
           save thy life.

11:020:032 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on
           their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy
           servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live.  And he said,
           Is he yet alive? he is my brother.

11:020:033 Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would
           come from him, and did hastily catch it:  and they said, Thy
           brother Benhadad.  Then he said, Go ye, bring him.  Then
           Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into
           the chariot.

11:020:034 And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took
           from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets
           for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.  Then said
           Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant.  So he made a
           covenant with him, and sent him away.

11:020:035 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his
           neighbour in the word of the lord, Smite me, I pray thee.  And
           the man refused to smite him.

11:020:036 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice
           of the lord, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a
           lion shall slay thee.  And as soon as he was departed from him,
           a lion found him, and slew him.

11:020:037 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. 
           And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.

11:020:038 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way,
           and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.

11:020:039 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king:  and he
           said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and,
           behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and
           said, Keep this man:  if by any means he be missing, then shall
           thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of
           silver.

11:020:040 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone.  And
           the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be;
           thyself hast decided it.
