So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of
the city
First, as before observed, and marched forwards towards the Syrian camp:

1 Kings 20:19 In-Context

17 The young officers of the district governors went out first. Benhadad had sent men [to watch the city]. They informed him that some men had come out of Samaria.

18 He said, "Take them alive, whether they have come out to make peace or to fight."

19 The young officers of the district governors led an attack, and the troops followed them.

20 Each officer killed his opponent. The Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them. King Benhadad of Aram escaped on a horse with the cavalry.

21 The king of Israel went out and destroyed the horses and chariots and decisively defeated the Arameans.
