And they slew everyone his man
 The Syrian army, or at least a body of men detached from them, met them, opposed them, and fought them, and they slew of them 7232 men; as many as they themselves were: 
 and the Syrians fled;
 not expecting such a rebuff: 
 and Israel pursued them;
 to make some further advantage of their victory: 
 and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse, with the horsemen;
 with two couple of horsemen, as the Targum; with these to guard him he galloped away as fast as he could for his life.
