1 Reyes 20:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:18

And he said, whether they be come out for peace
To propose terms of peace:

take them alive;
make them prisoners, which was contrary to the laws of nations:

or whether they be come out for war, take them alive;
he made no doubt of their being easily taken; but he would not have them be put to death, that he might examine them, and know the state of things in Samaria, and what Ahab intended to do, that he might take his measures accordingly.

1 Reyes 20:18 In-Context

16 Cerca del mediodĂ­a, mientras Ben-adad y los treinta y dos reyes aliados aĂşn estaban en sus carpas bebiendo hasta emborracharse,
17 el primer contingente, formado por las tropas de los comandantes provinciales, avanzĂł desde la ciudad.
Mientras se acercaban, la patrulla de avanzada que habĂ­a mandado Ben-adad le informĂł:
—Unas tropas avanzan desde Samaria.
18 —Tráiganlos vivos —ordenó Ben-adad—, ya sea que vengan en son de paz o de guerra.
19 Ahora bien, los comandantes de las provincias de Acab junto con todo el ejército habían salido a pelear.
20 Cada soldado israelita mató a su oponente arameo, y de pronto todo el ejército arameo sintió pánico y huyó. Los israelitas persiguieron a los arameos, pero el rey Ben-adad y algunos de sus conductores de carros escaparon a caballo.
