1 Kings 20:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ To morrow therefore at this same hour I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall put in their hands, and take away.

⁷ And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay.

⁸ And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him.
