1 Kings 20:14-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ Ahab asked, “By whom?”

And the prophet said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘By the young men of the provincial leaders.’”

Then he asked, “Who is to start the battle?” ^(A)

He said, “You.”

¹⁵ So Ahab mobilized the young men of the provincial leaders, and there were 232. After them he mobilized all the Israelite troops: 7,000.^{(B) 16} They marched out at noon while Ben-hadad and the thirty-two kings^(C) who were helping him were getting drunk in their quarters.
