1 Kings 20:31-33
New American Standard Bible
31 But (A)his servants said to him, “Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let’s (B)put sackcloth [a]around our waists and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will let [b]you live.” 32 So (C)they put sackcloth [c]around their waists and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, “(D)Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please let [d]me live.’” And Ahab said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.” 33 Now the men took this as a good omen, and quickly [e]accepting it from him, they said, “Your brother Ben-hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he had him mount the chariot.
