1 Kings 20:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ Then Ben-Hadad sent messengers to him and said, “The gods do to me and then some if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”

¹¹ The king of Israel answered, “Tell him: Let not he who puts on his armor boast himself as he who takes it off.”

¹² When Ben-Hadad heard this message as he was drinking with the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Station yourselves!” And they stationed themselves against the city.
