1 Kings 20:23 in Context — 1 Kings 20
21 E saiu o rei de Israel, e feriu a cavaleiros, e os carros; e derrotou os sírios com grande estrago.
22 Chegando-se logo o profeta ao rei de Israel, lhe disse: Vai, fortalece-te, e considera e olha o que hás de fazer; porque passado o ano, o rei da Síria há de vir contra ti.
23 E os servos do rei da Síria lhe disseram: seus deuses são deuses dos montes, por isso nos venceram; mas se lutássemos com eles na planície, se verá se não os vencemos.
24 Faze, pois assim: Tira aos reis cada um de seu posto, e põe capitães em lugar deles.
25 E tu, forma-te outro exército como o exército que perdeste, cavalos por cavalos, e carros por carros; logo lutaremos com eles em campo raso, e veremos se não os vencemos. E ele lhes deu ouvido, e o fez assim.
