Melachim Alef 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.

Melachim Alef 20:4 In-Context

2 And he sent malachim to Ach’av Melech Yisroel into the Ir, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-Hadad,
3 Thy kesef and thy zahav is mine; thy nashim also and thy banim, even the tovim (best) are mine.
4 And the Melech Yisroel answered and said, Adoni, O melech, according to thy word, I am thine, and all that I have.
5 And the malachim came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-Hadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy kesef, thy zahav, thy nashim, thy banim;
6 Yet I will send my avadim unto thee tomorrow about this time, and they shall search thine Bais (Palace), and the batim (houses) of thy avadim; and it shall be, that whatsoever is makhmad (precious) in thine eyes, they shall put it in their yad, and take it away.
