And it will consume the citadels of (A)Ben-hadad.
“I will also (B)break the gate bar of Damascus,
And cut off the inhabitant from the [a]valley of Aven,
And him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden;
So the people of Aram will go exiled to (C)Kir,”

I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they deported an entire population
To (E)deliver it up to Edom.
