Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷ Then the king of Israel called for all the elders of the land and said, ‘Recognise^[a] that this one is only looking for trouble,^(A) for he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I didn’t turn him down.’

⁸ All the elders and all the people said to him, ‘Don’t listen or agree.’

⁹ So he said to Ben-hadad’s messengers, ‘Say to my lord the king, “Everything you demanded of your servant the first time, I will do, but this thing I cannot do.” ’ So the messengers left and took word back to him.
