26The next spring, Ben-hadad mustered the Aramean army and marched to Aphek to fight Israel.

27The Israelites were mustered and supplied, and they went to meet the Arameans. They camped opposite them like two little flocks of goats, but the Aramean army filled the land.

28Then the man of God came to the king of Israel and said, “Thus says Yahweh: Because the Arameans have said, ‘Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,’ I will deliver this whole vast army into your hands, and you and your people will know that I am Yahweh.”
