1 Kings 20:2-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
2
Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab, king of Israel, and said to him, 'This is what Ben-hadad says:
3
‘Your silver and your gold are mine; your most beautiful wives and children are also mine.’?'
4
And the king of Israel replied, 'As you say, my lord, O king; I am yours, as well as all that I have.'
5
Then the messengers returned and said, 'Ben-hadad says this: ‘I did indeed send
word
to you, saying, 'You shall give me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children';
6
but about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants; and they will take in their hands everything that is pleasing to your eyes, and take
it all
away.’?'
7
Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, 'Please be aware and see that this man is looking for trouble; for he sent me
his demand
for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I did not refuse him.'
King James Version
Chapter 20
2
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,
3
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
4
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
5
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
6
Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
7
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.

Chapter 20
2
He sent messengers into the city to King Ahab of Israel and said to him, "This is what Ben-hadad says:
3
‘Your silver and your gold are mine! And your best wives and children are mine as well!’"
4
Then the king of Israel answered, "Just as you say, my lord the king: I am yours, along with all that I have."
5
The messengers then returned and said, "This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have sent messengers to you, saying: You are to give me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
6
But at this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they will search your palace and your servants’ houses. They will lay their hands on and take away whatever is precious to you.’"
7
Then the king of Israel called for all the elders of the land and said, "Recognize that this one is only looking for trouble, for he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I didn’t turn him down."
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
2
Ben-hadad sent messengers into the city to relay this message to King Ahab of Israel: 'This is what Ben-hadad says:
3
‘Your silver and gold are mine, and so are your wives and the best of your children!’'
4
All right, my lord the king,' Israel’s king replied. 'All that I have is yours!'
5
Soon Ben-hadad’s messengers returned again and said, 'This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have already demanded that you give me your silver, gold, wives, and children.
6
But about this time tomorrow I will send my officials to search your palace and the homes of your officials. They will take away everything you consider valuable!’'
7
Then Ahab summoned all the elders of the land and said to them, 'Look how this man is stirring up trouble! I already agreed with his demand that I give him my wives and children and silver and gold.'

2
Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, “Thus says Ben-Hadad:
3
‘Your silver and your gold
are
mine; your loveliest wives and children are mine.’ ”
4
And the king of Israel answered and said, “My lord, O king, just as you say, I and all that I have
are
yours.”
5
Then the messengers came back and said, “Thus speaks Ben-Hadad, saying, ‘Indeed I have sent to you, saying, “You shall deliver to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children”;
6
but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants. And it shall be,
that
whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put
it
in their hands and take
it.
’ ”
7
So the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Notice, please, and see how this
man
seeks trouble, for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold; and I did not deny him.”
