Boasts before battle

10Ben-hadad sent to him and said, “May the gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who are at my feet.”

11And the king of Israel answered and said, “Tell him, ‘Let not the one who girds on his armor boast like the one who takes it off.’”

12And when he heard this word, while he and the kings were drinking in the booths, he said to his servants, “Take your positions.” So they took their positions against the city.
