14 Achab dit: Par qui? Et il répondit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Par les serviteurs des chefs des provinces. Achab dit: Qui engagera le combat? Et il répondit: Toi.

15 Alors Achab passa en revue les serviteurs des chefs des provinces, et il s’en trouva deux cent trente-deux; et après eux, il passa en revue tout le peuple, tous les enfants d’Israël, et ils étaient sept mille.

16 Ils firent une sortie à midi. Ben-Hadad buvait et s’enivrait sous les tentes avec les trente-deux rois, ses auxiliaires.

17 Les serviteurs des chefs des provinces sortirent les premiers. Ben-Hadad s’informa, et on lui fit ce rapport: Des hommes sont sortis de Samarie.

18 Il dit: S’ils sortent pour la paix, saisissez-les vivants; et s’ils sortent pour le combat, saisissez-les vivants.
