1 Kings 20:20-22

20 Each one struck down an enemy soldier;[a] the Syrians fled and Israel chased them. King Ben Hadad of Syria escaped on horseback with some horsemen. 21 Then the king of Israel marched out and struck down the horses and chariots; he thoroughly defeated[b] Syria.

The Lord Gives Israel Another Victory
