1 Kings 20:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ ·Gather [Recruit; Raise; Muster] an army like the one ·that was destroyed and as many horses and chariots as before [^Lyou lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot]. We will fight the Israelites on ·flat land [the plain], and then we will ·win [be stronger].” Ben-Hadad ·agreed with their advice [^Lheeded their voice] and did what they said.

²⁶ ·The next spring [^LAt the turn of the year] Ben-Hadad ·gathered [mustered] the army of Aram and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

²⁷ The ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] also had ·prepared for war [mustered and gathered provisions]. They marched out to meet the Arameans and camped opposite them. The Israelites looked like two small flocks of goats, but the Arameans covered the ·area [countryside].
