1 Kings 20:28-31
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
28
Then a man of God approached and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, 'This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Since the Arameans have said, 'The
Lord
is a god of mountains, but He is not a god of valleys,' therefore I will hand over to you all this great multitude, and you shall know that I am the
Lord
.’?'
29
So they camped, one opposite the other, for seven days. And on the seventh day the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel killed
of
the Arameans a hundred thousand foot soldiers in a single day.
30
But the rest fled to Aphek into the city, and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled and came into the city,
going from one
inner room to another.
31
But his servants said to him, 'Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let’s put sackcloth around our waists and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will let you live.'
King James Version
Chapter 20
28
And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the
Lord
, Because the Syrians have said, The
Lord
is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the
Lord
.
29
And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
28
Then the man of God approached and said to the king of Israel, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Because the Arameans have said: The
Lord
is a god of the mountains and not a god of the valleys, I will hand over all this whole huge army to you. Then you will know that I am the
Lord
.’"
29
They camped opposite each other for seven days. On the seventh day, the battle took place, and the Israelites struck down the Arameans—one hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
30
The ones who remained fled into the city of Aphek, and the wall fell on those twenty-seven thousand remaining men. Ben-hadad also fled and went into an inner room in the city.
31
His servants said to him, "Consider this: we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. So let’s put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and let’s go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your life."
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
28
Then the man of God went to the king of Israel and said, 'This is what the
Lord
says: The Arameans have said, ‘The
Lord
is a god of the hills and not of the plains.’ So I will defeat this vast army for you. Then you will know that I am the
Lord
.'
29
The two armies camped opposite each other for seven days, and on the seventh day the battle began. The Israelites killed 100,000 Aramean foot soldiers in one day.
30
The rest fled into the town of Aphek, but the wall fell on them and killed another 27,000. Ben-hadad fled into the town and hid in a secret room.
31
Ben-hadad’s officers said to him, 'Sir, we have heard that the kings of Israel are merciful. So let’s humble ourselves by wearing burlap around our waists and putting ropes on our heads, and surrender to the king of Israel. Then perhaps he will let you live.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 20
28
And a man of God came near and said to the king of Israel, "Thus says the
Lord
, ‘Because the Syrians have said, "The
Lord
is a god of the hills but he is not a god of the valleys," therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the
Lord
.’"
29
And they encamped opposite one another seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined. And the people of Israel struck down of the Syrians 100,000 foot soldiers in one day.
30
And the rest fled into the city of Aphek, and the wall fell upon 27,000 men who were left. Ben-hadad also fled and entered an inner chamber in the city.
31
And his servants said to him, "Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes on our heads and go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your life."
New International Version
Chapter 20
28
The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Because the Arameans think the
Lord
is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the
Lord
.’ "
29
For seven days they camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle was joined. The Israelites inflicted a hundred thousand casualties on the Aramean foot soldiers in one day.
30
The rest of them escaped to the city of Aphek, where the wall collapsed on twenty-seven thousand of them. And Ben-Hadad fled to the city and hid in an inner room.
31
His officials said to him, "Look, we have heard that the kings of Israel are merciful. Let us go to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life."
New King James Version

Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Thus says the
Lord
: ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The
Lord
is
God of the hills, but He
is
not God of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I

29
And they encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand foot soldiers
of
the Syrians in one day.
30
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; then a wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the men
who were
left. And Ben-Hadad fled and went into the city, into an inner chamber.
31
Then his servants said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel
are
merciful kings. Please, let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will spare your life.”
