22But he answered, 'You shall not kill them. Would you kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow? Set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.' 23So he provided a large feast for them; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.King James Version

So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.Christian Standard Bible

So the bands from Aram stopped raiding Israel’s territory.New King James Version
