1 Kings 20 31-1 Kings 20 34
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.So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and[ put] ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said,[ Is] he yet alive? he[ is] my brother.Now the men did diligently observe whether[ any thing would come] from him, and did hastily catch[ it]: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.And[ Benhadad] said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then[ said Ahab], I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
