Löydetty 1985 Tulokset: Hunger In Israel
Thereupon the king of Israel summoned all the elders of his land; Mark well, he said, how craftily this man deals with us; this is my reward for consenting to give up wives and sons, silver and gold, at his demand. (1 Kings 20, 7)
To that, the king of Israel made reply, Boast he may who ungirds, not he who girds for battle. (1 Kings 20, 11)
And now a prophet came with a message from the Lord to Achab, king of Israel: Thou canst see for thyself what a great multitude of warriors is here; over all that multitude I mean to give thee victory this day, and prove to thee that I am the Lord. (1 Kings 20, 13)
So he took count of the lackeys the chiefs had in their retinue, and found there were two hundred and thirty-two of these; then he took count of his army, the whole army of Israel, seven thousand strong. (1 Kings 20, 15)
and none but slew the first enemy he met; so that the Syrians were routed, and Israel went in pursuit of them. Benadad king of Syria escaped on horse-back among his cavalry, (1 Kings 20, 20)
and still horse and chariot fell before the king of Israel’s sally, till he won a great victory over the men of Syria. (1 Kings 20, 21)
when a year had passed, he marshalled the Syrian forces and led them out to Aphec, where he offered Israel battle. (1 Kings 20, 26)
The men of Israel marshalled their forces too, provided themselves with food for the march and went out to meet the enemy. Where they lay encamped opposite, they seemed like two little herds of goats, while the Syrians swarmed over the country-side. (1 Kings 20, 27)
To the king of Israel God sent out one of his servants with this message: Thus says the Lord, Thinks Syria that I am God of the hills, and not of the valleys too? Over all this great array I will give thee victory; such proof you shall have that I am the Lord. (1 Kings 20, 28)
So, for seven days, the armies stood threatening one another, and on the seventh battle was joined; on that one day the men of Israel routed a hundred thousand Syrians that fought on foot. (1 Kings 20, 29)
and there his courtiers told him, This is the tale we have heard about the kings of Israel, that they are merciful men. Let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and give ourselves up to the king of Israel; it may be he will spare our lives. (1 Kings 20, 31)
So, with sackcloth on their loins and ropes on their heads, they betook themselves to the king of Israel; Thy servant Benadad, they told him, pleads for his life. And Achab answered, Lives he yet, he is my brother. (1 Kings 20, 32)
