1. And Ben-hadad the king of Syria collected all his army: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
2. And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,
3. Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the most comely, are mine.
4. And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
