1 Kings 20:16-21

16 They went out at noon, while ^aBen-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the ^{▼▼ Or booths}temporary shelters ^{▼▼ Lit he and the 32 kings}with the thirty-two kings who helped him. 17 The young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out and they told him, saying, “Men have come out from Samaria.” 18 ^dThen he said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”

19 So these went out from the city, the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and the army which followed them. 20 They ^{▼▼ Lit smote}killed each his man; and the Arameans fled and Israel pursued them, and Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen. 21 The king of Israel went out and ^{▼▼ Lit smote}struck the horses and chariots, and ^{▼▼ Lit smote}killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.
