20:3 Thy silver 3701 and thy gold 2091 [is] mine; thy wives 802 also and thy children 1121, [even] the goodliest 2896, [are] mine.
20:4 And the king 4428 of Israel 3478 answered 60308799 and said 5598799, My lord 113, O king 4428, according to thy saying 1697, I [am] thine, and all that I have.
20:6 Yet I will send 79718799 my servants 5650 unto thee to morrow 4279 about this time 6256, and they shall search 26648765 thine house 1004, and the houses 1004 of thy servants 5650; and it shall be 19618804, [that] whatsoever is pleasant 4261 in thine eyes 5869, they shall put 77608799 [it] in their hand 3027, and take [it] away 39478804.(pleasant: Heb. desirable)
20:7 Then the king 4428 of Israel 3478 called 71218799 all the elders 2205 of the land 776, and said 5598799, Mark 30458798, I pray you, and see 72008798 how this [man] seeketh 12458764 mischief 7451: for he sent 79718804 unto me for my wives 802, and for my children 1121, and for my silver 3701, and for my gold 2091; and I denied 45138804 him not.(I denied…: Heb. I kept not back from him)
20:8 And all the elders 2205 and all the people 5971 said 5598799 unto him, Hearken 80858799 not [unto him], nor consent 148799.
20:10 And Benhadad 1130 sent 79718799 unto him, and said 5598799, The gods 430 do so 62138799 unto me, and more also 32548686, if the dust 6083 of Samaria 8111 shall suffice 56068799 for handfuls 8168 for all the people 5971 that follow 7272 me.(follow…: Heb. are at my feet)
20:12 And it came to pass, when [Benhadad] heard 80858800 this message 1697, as he [was] drinking 83548802, he and the kings 4428 in the pavilions 5521, that he said 5598799 unto his servants 5650, Set 77608798 [yourselves in array]. And they set 77608799 [themselves in array] against the city 5892.(message: Heb. word)(pavilions: or, tents)(Set yourselves…: or, Place the engines. And they placed the engines)
20:13 And, behold, there came 50668738 a 259 prophet 5030 unto Ahab 256 king 4428 of Israel 3478, saying 5598799, Thus saith 5598804 the LORD 3068, Hast thou seen 72008804 all this great 1419 multitude 1995? behold, I will deliver 54148802 it into thine hand 3027 this day 3117; and thou shalt know 30458804 that I [am] the LORD 3068.(came: Heb. approached)
20:14 And Ahab 256 said 5598799, By whom? And he said 5598799, Thus saith 5598804 the LORD 3068, [Even] by the young men 5288 of the princes 8269 of the provinces 4082. Then he said 5598799, Who shall order 6318799 the battle 4421? And he answered 5598799, Thou.(young…: or, servants)(order: Heb. bind, or, tie)
20:15 Then he numbered 64858799 the young men 5288 of the princes 8269 of the provinces 4082, and they were two 8147 hundred 3967 and thirty 7970 two 8147: and after 310 them he numbered 64858804 all the people 5971, [even] all the children 1121 of Israel 3478, [being] seven 7651 thousand 505.
20:23 And the servants 5650 of the king 4428 of Syria 758 said 5598804 unto him, Their gods 430 [are] gods 430 of the hills 2022; therefore they were stronger 23888804 than we; but 199 let us fight 38988735 against them in the plain 4334, and surely 3808 we shall be stronger 23888799 than they.
20:25 And number 44878799 thee an army 2428, like the army 2428 that thou hast lost 53078802, horse 5483 for horse 5483, and chariot 7393 for chariot 7393: and we will fight 38988735 against 854 them in the plain 4334, [and] surely we shall be stronger 23888799 than they. And he hearkened 80858799 unto their voice 6963, and did so 62138799.(that thou…: Heb. that was fallen)
20:26 And it came to pass at the return 8666 of the year 8141, that Benhadad 1130 numbered 64858799 the Syrians 758, and went up 59278799 to Aphek 663, to fight 4421 against Israel 3478.(to fight…: Heb. to the war with Israel)
20:27 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 were numbered 64858719, and were all present 35578791, and went 32128799 against 71258800 them: and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 pitched 25838799 before them like two 8147 little flocks 2835 of kids 5795; but the Syrians 758 filled 43908765 the country 776.(were all…: or, were nourished)
20:28 And there came 50668799 a man 376 of God 430, and spake 5598799 unto the king 4428 of Israel 3478, and said 5598799, Thus saith 5598804 the LORD 3068, Because the Syrians 758 have said 5598804, The LORD 3068 [is] God 430 of the hills 2022, but he [is] not God 430 of the valleys 6010, therefore will I deliver 54148804 all this great 1419 multitude 1995 into thine hand 3027, and ye shall know 30458804 that I [am] the LORD 3068.
20:30 But the rest 34988737 fled 51278799 to Aphek 663, into the city 5892; and [there] a wall 2346 fell 53078799 upon twenty 6242 and seven 7651 thousand 505 of the men 376 [that were] left 34988737. And Benhadad 1130 fled 51278804, and came 9358799 into the city 5892, into an inner 2315 chamber 2315.(into an…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. into a chamber within a chamber)
20:31 And his servants 5650 said 5598799 unto him, Behold now, we have heard 80858804 that the kings 4428 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 [are] merciful 2617 kings 4428: let us, I pray thee, put 77608799 sackcloth 8242 on our loins 4975, and ropes 2256 upon our heads 7218, and go out 33188799 to the king 4428 of Israel 3478: peradventure he will save 24218762 thy life 5315.
20:33 Now the men 582 did diligently observe 51728762 whether [any thing would come] from him, and did hastily 41168762 catch 24808686 [it]: and they said 5598799, Thy brother 251 Benhadad 1130. Then he said 5598799, Go 9358798 ye, bring 39478798 him. Then Benhadad 1130 came forth 33188799 to him; and he caused him to come up 59278686 into the chariot 4818.
20:34 And [Benhadad] said 5598799 unto him, The cities 5892, which my father 1 took 39478804 from thy father 1, I will restore 77258686; and thou shalt make 77608799 streets 2351 for thee in Damascus 1834, as my father 1 made 77608804 in Samaria 8111. Then [said Ahab], I will send thee away 79718762 with this covenant 1285. So he made 37728799 a covenant 1285 with him, and sent him away 79718762.
20:36 Then said 5598799 he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed 80858804 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068, behold, as soon as thou art departed 19808802 from me, a lion 738 shall slay 52218689 thee. And as soon as he was departed 32128799 from him 681, a lion 738 found 46728799 him, and slew 52218686 him.
20:37 Then he found 46728799 another 312 man 376, and said 5598799, Smite 52218685 me, I pray thee. And the man 376 smote 52218686 him, so that in smiting 52218687 he wounded 64818800 [him].(so that…: Heb. smiting and wounding)
20:40 And as thy servant 5650 was busy 62138802 here and there, he was gone 369. And the king 4428 of Israel 3478 said 5598799 unto him, So [shall] thy judgment 4941 [be]; thyself hast decided 27828804 [it].(he was…: Heb. he was not)
20:41 And he hasted 41168762, and took the ashes 666 away 54938686 from his face 5869; and the king 4428 of Israel 3478 discerned 52348686 him that he [was] of the prophets 5030.
20:42 And he said 5598799 unto him, Thus saith 5598804 the LORD 3068, Because thou hast let go 79718765 out of [thy] hand 3027 a man 376 whom I appointed to utter destruction 2764, therefore thy life 5315 shall go for his life 5315, and thy people 5971 for his people 5971.
