Syrian-Israeli Conflicts: Ben-Hadad Vs. Ahab Of Israel

⁵ Later the messengers came back to Ahab with another demand from Benhadad: I sent you word that you were to hand over to me your silver and gold, your women and your children. ⁶ 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 whatever is desirable in your eyes, they will take in their hand and carry away.’” ⁷ Then the king of Israel sent for all the responsible men of the land, and said: Now will you take note and see the evil purpose of this man. He sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I did not keep them back.
