New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
19
So these
men
went out from the city, the young men of the leaders of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
20
And they killed, each one, his man; and the Arameans fled and Israel pursued them, and Ben-hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21
The king of Israel also went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans in a great slaughter.
22
Then the prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him, 'Go, show yourself courageous and be aware and see what you have to do; for at the turn of the year the king of Aram will march against you.'
23
Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, 'Their gods are gods of the mountains; for that reason they were stronger than we. But let us fight them in the plain,
and
we will certainly be stronger than they.
King James Version
Chapter 20
19
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
20
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
21
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
23
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.

Chapter 20
19
The young men of the provincial leaders and the army behind them marched out from the city,
20
and each one struck down his opponent. So the Arameans fled and Israel pursued them, but King Ben-hadad of Aram escaped on a horse with the cavalry.
21
Then the king of Israel marched out and attacked the cavalry and the chariots. He inflicted a severe slaughter on Aram.
22
The prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him, "Go and strengthen yourself, then consider carefully what you should do, for in the spring the king of Aram will attack you."
23
Now the king of Aram’s servants said to him, "Their gods are gods of the hill country. That’s why they were stronger than we were. Instead, we should fight with them on the plain; then we will certainly be stronger than they are.
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
19
But Ahab’s provincial commanders and the entire army had now come out to fight.
20
Each Israelite soldier killed his Aramean opponent, and suddenly the entire Aramean army panicked and fled. The Israelites chased them, but King Ben-hadad and a few of his charioteers escaped on horses.
21
However, the king of Israel destroyed the other horses and chariots and slaughtered the Arameans.
22
Afterward the prophet said to King Ahab, 'Get ready for another attack. Begin making plans now, for the king of Aram will come back next spring. '
23
After their defeat, Ben-hadad’s officers said to him, 'The Israelite gods are gods of the hills; that is why they won. But we can beat them easily on the plains.

19
The junior officers under the provincial commanders marched out of the city with the army behind them
20

21
The king of Israel advanced and overpowered the horses and chariots and inflicted heavy losses on the Arameans.
22
Afterward, the prophet came to the king of Israel and said, "Strengthen your position and see what must be done, because next spring the king of Aram will attack you again."
23
