1 Kings 20:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ About noontime, as Ben-hadad and the thirty-two allied kings were still drinking themselves drunk, the first of Ahab’s troops marched out of the city.

¹⁷ As they approached, Ben-hadad’s scouts reported to him, “Some troops are coming!”

¹⁸ “Take them alive,” Ben-hadad commanded, “whether they have come for truce or for war.”
