1 Kings 20:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ “Who will lead the attack?” Ahab asked.

The prophet answered, “The Lord says that the young soldiers under the command of the district governors are to do it.”

“Who will command the main force?” the king asked.

“You,” the prophet answered.

¹⁵ So the king called out the young soldiers who were under the district commanders, 232 in all. Then he called out the Israelite army, a total of seven thousand men.

¹⁶ The attack began at noon, as Benhadad and his thirty-two allies were getting drunk in their tents.
