1 Kings 20:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ Then Ben Hadad sent word to him: “May the gods punish me severely and even double it, if the dust left from Samaria will be enough to give a handful to each of those who follow me.”

¹¹ The king of Israel answered, “Tell him that someone who is putting his armor on should not boast like someone who is taking it off.”

¹² When he heard this message, Ben Hadad and his kings were in their tents drinking. He said to his servants, “Get ready!” and they took up positions against the city.
