Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲ֠דַד Ha.dad “Hadad”

So Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth as far as all the land of Naphtali.

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַ֜ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

Now Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got all his army together, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and carriages of war; he went up and made war on Samaria, shutting it in.

וּבֶן־ (בֶן) ven- “Ben”הֲדַ֣ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

And he sent representatives into the town to Ahab, king of Israel;

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַ֔ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

Then the representatives came back again, and said, These are the words of Ben-hadad: I sent to you saying, Give up to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children;

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַ֖ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.

בֶן־ ven- “Ben”הֲדַ֗ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

Then Ben-hadad sent to him, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if there is enough of the dust of Samaria for all the people at my feet to take some in their hands.

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַ֔ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

And in the middle of the day they went out. But Ben-hadad was drinking in the tents with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.

וּבֶן־ (בֶן) ven- “Ben”הֲדַד֩ ha.Dad “Hadad”

And the servants of the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land went forward first; and when Ben-hadad sent out, they gave him the news, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַ֗ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַד֙ ha.Dad “Hadad”

So, a year later, Ben-hadad got the Aramaeans together and went up to Aphek to make war on Israel.

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַ֖ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

But the rest went in flight to Aphek, into the town, where a wall came down on the twenty-seven thousand who were still living. And Ben-hadad went in flight into the town, into an inner room.

וּבֶן־ (בֶן) ven- “Ben”הֲדַ֣ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

So they put on haircloth, and cords on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Let me now keep my life. And he said, Is he still living? he is my brother.

בֶן־ ven- “Ben”הֲדַ֛ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

Now the men took it as a sign, and quickly took up his words; and they said, Ben-hadad is your brother. Then he said, Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.

בֶן־ ven- “Ben”הֲדַ֔ד ha.Dad “Hadad”בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַ֔ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

Then Asa took silver and gold out of the stores of the Lord's house and of the king's store-house, and sent to Ben-hadad, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,

בֶּן־ ben- “Ben”הֲדַד֙ ha.Dad “Hadad”

And Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-maim, and all the store-towns of Naphtali.

בֶּן ben “Ben”הֲדַ֜ד ha.Dad “Hadad”

And I will have a fire lighted on the wall of Damascus, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
