1 Kings 20:23 in Context — 1 Kings 20
21 Y salió el rey de Israel, é hirió la gente de á caballo, y los carros; y deshizo los Siros con grande estrago.
22 Llegándose luego el profeta al rey de Israel, le dijo: Ve, fortalécete, y considera y mira lo que has de hacer; porque pasado el año, el rey de Siria ha de venir contra ti.
23 Y los siervos del rey de Siria le dijeron: Sus dioses son dioses de los montes, por eso nos han vencido; mas si peleáremos con ellos en la llanura, [se verá] si no los vencemos.
24 Haz pues así: Saca á los reyes cada uno de su puesto, y pon capitanes en lugar de ellos.
25 Y tú, fórmate otro ejército como el ejército que perdiste, caballos por caballos, y carros por carros; luego pelearemos con ellos en campo raso, y [veremos] si no los vencemos. Y él les dió oído, é hízolo así.
