10 Ben-Hadad envoya dire à Achab: Que les dieux me traitent dans toute leur rigueur, si la poussière de Samarie suffit pour remplir le creux de la main de tout le peuple qui me suit!

11 Et le roi d’Israël répondit: Que celui qui revêt une armure ne se glorifie pas comme celui qui la dépose!

12 Lorsque Ben-Hadad reçut cette réponse, il était à boire avec les rois sous les tentes, et il dit à ses serviteurs: Faites vos préparatifs! Et ils firent leurs préparatifs contre la ville.

13 Mais voici, un prophète s’approcha d’Achab, roi d’Israël, et il dit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Vois-tu toute cette grande multitude? Je vais la livrer aujourd’hui entre tes mains, et tu sauras que je suis l’Éternel.
