1 Kings 20:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁰ Ben-hadad sent to him and said, ‘The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will provide a handful for each of the people who follow me.’ ¹¹ The king of Israel answered, ‘Tell him: One who puts on armour should not brag like one who takes it off.’ ¹² When Ben-hadad heard this message—now he had been drinking with the kings in the booths—he said to his men, ‘Take your positions!’ And they took their positions against the city.
