1 Kings 20:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ Ahab asked, “How ⌞will this be done⌟?”

The prophet answered, “This is what the Lord says: by using the young officers of the district governors.”

“Who will start the battle?” Ahab asked.

“You will,” the prophet answered.

¹⁵ Ahab counted the young officers of the district governors. There were 232. After counting them, he counted all the Israelite soldiers. There were 7,000. ¹⁶ They attacked at noon, when Benhadad was in his tent getting drunk with the 32 kings who were his allies.
