| 1st-Kings 20:2 | And, sending messengers to Achab king of Israel into the city, | He sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-hadad, | And he sent representatives into the town to Ahab, king of Israel; |
| 1st-Kings 20:3 | He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver, and thy gold is mine: and thy wives, and thy goodliest children are mine. | Your silver and your gold is mine; your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine. | And they said to him, Ben-hadad says, Your silver and your gold are mine; and your wives and children are mine. |

| 1st-Kings 20:5 | And the messengers came again, and said: Thus saith Benadad, who sent us unto thee: Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children thou shalt deliver up to me. | The messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-hadad, saying, I sent indeed to you, saying, You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children; | Then the representatives came back again, and said, These are the words of Ben-hadad: I sent to you saying, Give up to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children; |
| 1st-Kings 20:6 | To morrow therefore at this same hour I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall put in their hands, and take away. | but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away. | But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, to make a search through your house and the houses of your people, and everything which is pleasing in your eyes they will take away in their hands. |
| 1st-Kings 20:7 | And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us.

| 1st-Kings 20:8 | And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him. | All the elders and all the people said to him, Don't you listen, neither consent. | And all the responsible men and the people said to him, Do not give attention to him or do what he says. |
| 1st-Kings 20:9 | Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to me thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do. | Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you did send for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I may not do. The messengers departed, and brought him word again. | So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer. |
| 1st-Kings 20:10 | And the messengers returning brought him word.

| 1st-Kings 20:12 | And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city.

See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord. |
| 1st-Kings 20:14 | And Achab said: By whom? And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. And he said: Who shall begin to fight?

| 1st-Kings 20:18 | And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive. | He said, Whether they are come out for peace, take them alive, or whether they are come out for war, taken them alive. | And he said, If they have come out for peace, take them living, and if they have come out for war, take them living. |
| 1st-Kings 20:19 | So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed: | So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them. | So the servants of the chiefs of the divisions of the land went out of the town, with the army coming after them. |

As soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed him. | Then he said to him, Because you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, straight away when you have gone from me a lion will put you to death.
