1 Kings 20:31 in Context — 1 Kings 20
29 Sete dias tiveram assentado o acampamento uns diante dos outros, e ao sétimo dia começou a batalha: e mataram os filhos de Israel dos sírios em um dia cem mil homens a pé.
30 Os demais fugiram a Afeque, à cidade: e o muro caiu sobre vinte e sete mil homens que haviam restado. Também Ben-Hadade veio fugindo à cidade, e escondia-se de câmara em câmara.
31 Então seus servos lhe disseram: Eis que, ouvimos dos reis da casa de Israel que são reis clementes: ponhamos, pois, agora sacos em nossos lombos, e cordas em nossas cabeças, e saiamos ao rei de Israel: porventura te salvará a vida.
32 Cingiram, pois seus lombos de sacos, e cordas a suas cabeças, e vieram ao rei de Israel, e disseram-lhe: Teu servo Ben-Hadade disse: Rogo-te que viva minha alma. E ele respondeu: Se ele vive ainda, meu irmão é.
33 Isto tomaram aqueles homens por bom presságio, e logo tomaram esta palavra de sua boca, e disseram: Teu irmão Ben-Hadade! E ele disse: Ide, e trazei-lhe. Ben-Hadade então se apresentou a Acabe, e ele lhe fez subir em um carro.
