Ben-Hadad Attacks Samaria1Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram mustered his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he went up and besieged Samaria and attacked it. 2He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, “This is what Ben-Hadad says:
3‘Your silver and gold are mine, and the best of your wives and children are mine.’ ”
4The king of Israel answered, “Just as you say, my lord the king. I and all I have are yours.”
