“ I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.”

“ I will set the walls of Damascus on fire. It will burn down the strong towers of King Ben- Hadad.”

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasuries of the house of the Lord and the treasuries of the king’s house, and handed it over to his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,“ Let’s make a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me.”So Ben hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel beth maacah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali.

This is what the Lord says:“ For three offenses of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke its punishment, Because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael, And it will consume the citadels of Ben hadad.I will also break the gate bar of Damascus, And eliminate every inhabitant from the Valley of Aven, As well as him who holds the scepter, from Beth eden; So the people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,” Says the Lord.

And the Lord gave Israel a savior, so that they escaped from under the hand of the Arameans; and the sons of Israel lived in their tents as previously.

Now Ben hadad, king of Aram, gathered all his army, and there were thirty two kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab, king of Israel, and said to him,“ This is what Ben hadad says:‘ Your silver and your gold are mine; your most beautiful wives and children are also mine.’ ”And the king of Israel replied,“ As you say, my lord, O king; I am yours, as well as all that I have.”Then the messengers returned and said,“ Ben hadad says this:‘ I did indeed send word to you, saying,“ You shall give me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children”;but about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants; and they will take in their hands everything that is pleasing to your eyes, and take it all away.’ ”Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said,“ Please be aware and see that this man is looking for trouble; for he sent me his demand for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I did not refuse him.”Then all the elders and all the people said to him,“ Do not listen nor consent.”So he said to the messengers of Ben hadad,“ Tell my lord the king,‘ Everything that you sent as a demand to your servant at the first, I will do; but this thing I cannot do.’ ” Then the messengers departed, and brought him word again.Ben hadad sent word to him and said,“ May the gods do so to me and more so, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”Then the king of Israel replied,“ Tell him,‘ He who straps on his weapons had better not boast like one who takes them off.’ ”And when Ben hadad heard this message, while he was drinking with the kings in the temporary shelters, he said to his servants,“ Take your positions.” So they took their positions against the city.Now behold, a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, and said,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I am going to hand them over to you today, and you shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”But Ahab said,“ By whom?” So he said,“ The Lord says this:‘ By the young men of the leaders of the provinces.’ ” Then he said,“ Who will begin the battle?” And he said,“ You will.”So he mustered the young men of the leaders of the provinces, and there were 232; and after them he mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel: seven thousand.They went out at noon, while Ben hadad was drinking himself drunk in the temporary shelters with the thirty two kings who were helping him.The young men of the leaders of the provinces went out first; and Ben hadad sent out scouts, and they reported to him, saying,“ Men have come out from Samaria.”Then he said,“ If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive as well.”So these men went out from the city, the young men of the leaders of the provinces, and the army which followed them.And they killed, each one, his man; and the Arameans fled and Israel pursued them, and Ben hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.The king of Israel also went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans in a great slaughter.Then the prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him,“ Go, show yourself courageous and be aware and see what you have to do; for at the turn of the year the king of Aram will march against you.”

So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He continually handed them over to Hazael king of Aram, and to Ben hadad, the son of Hazael.

And I shall set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely.
