1 Kings 20:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:4

And the king of Israel answered and said, my lord, O king
So he said to Benhadad's messengers, representing him, as acknowledging his sovereignty over him:

according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have:
which he understood of holding all that he had of him, by giving him homage, and paying him tribute; not that he was to deliver all his substance, and especially his wives and children, into his hands.
