17. The servants of the governors of the districts went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
18. And he said, Whether they have come out for peace or for war, take them alive.
19. So these [strong young guards] of the governors of the districts went out of [Samaria], and the army followed them.
20. And each one killed his man; the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen.
