1 Kings 20:18 in Context — 1 Kings 20
16 E saíram a meio dia. E estava Ben-Hadade bebendo, embriagado nas tendas, ele e os reis, os trinta e dois reis que haviam vindo em sua ajuda.
17 E os criados dos príncipes das províncias saíram os primeiros. E havia Ben-Hadade enviado quem lhe deu aviso, dizendo: Saíram homens de Samaria.
18 Ele então disse: Se saíram por paz, tomai-os vivos; e se saíram para lutar, tomai-os vivos.
19 Saíram, pois da cidade os criados dos príncipes das províncias, e após eles o exército.
20 E feriu cada um ao que vinha contra si: e fugiram os sírios, seguindo-os os de Israel. E o rei da Síria, Ben-Hadade, se escapou em um cavalo com alguma gente de cavalaria.
