³⁴ Then Ben-hadad said to him, “I restore to you the cities that my father took from your father,^(A) and you may set up marketplaces for yourself in Damascus, like my father set up in Samaria.”^(B)

Ahab responded, “On the basis of this treaty, I release you.” So he made a treaty with him and released him.
