War with Aram

1 Now Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and there were thirty-two * kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged * Samaria and fought against it.

2 Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, "Thus says Ben-hadad,

7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, "Please observe and see how this man is looking for trouble ; for he sent to me for my wives and my children and my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him."

9 So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot * do.' " And the messengers departed and brought him word again.
