Samaria under siege

1Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots; then he went up and besieged Samaria and fought against it.

2And he sent messengers into the city, to Ahab king of Israel.

3And he said to him, “Thus says Ben-hadad: Your silver and your gold are mine; your wives and your sons, the best, are mine.”

4The king of Israel answered and said, “According to your word, my lord the king, I am yours, and all that is mine.”
