1 Kings 20:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 And the king of Israel answered, and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth his harness, boast himself, as he that [a]putteth it off.
12 And when he heard that tidings, as he was with the kings drinking in the pavilions, he said unto the servants, [b]Bring forth your engines. And they set them against the city.
13 ¶ And behold, there came a Prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day, that thou mayest know, [c]that I am the Lord.
