1 Kings 20:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Ahab said, “Who will do it?” He answered, “Thus says the Lord: ‘The young officers from the provinces.’ ” He asked, “Who should start the battle?” He answered, “You!”^[a]

¹⁵ So he summoned the young officers from the provinces, and there were two hundred and thirty-two of them. Then he counted all of the Israelites there, and there were seven thousand.

¹⁶ They set out at noon when Ben-hadad and the thirty-two kings who were helping him were getting drunk in their tents.
