1 Kings 20:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ You must also put another army together. It should be just like the one you lost. It should have the same number of horses and chariots. Then we’ll be able to fight against Israel on the plains. And we’ll certainly be stronger than they are.” Ben-Hadad agreed with their advice. He did what they suggested.

²⁶ The next spring Ben-Hadad brought together the men of Aram. They went up to the city of Aphek to fight against Israel. ²⁷ The Israelites were also brought together. They were given supplies. They marched out to fight against their enemies. Israel’s army camped across from Aram’s army. The Israelites looked like two small flocks of goats that had become separated from the others. But the men of Aram covered the countryside.
