Now behold, a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, and said, 'This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I am going to hand them over to you today, and you shall know that I am the
Lord
.’?'
14
But Ahab said, 'By whom?' So he said, 'The
Lord
says this: ‘By the young men of the leaders of the provinces.’?' Then he said, 'Who will begin the battle?' And he said, 'You
will.
'
15
So he mustered the young men of the leaders of the provinces, and there were 232; and after them he mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel: seven thousand.
16
They went out at noon, while Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the temporary shelters with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.

And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the
Lord
, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the
Lord
.
14
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the
Lord
, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
15
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16
And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.

Ahab asked, 'How will he do it?' And the prophet replied, 'This is what the
Lord
says: The troops of the provincial commanders will do it.' 'Should we attack first?' Ahab asked. 'Yes,' the prophet answered.
