1 Kings 20:23-25

International Standard Version

The Arameans are Defeated

²³ Sure enough, the advisors to the king of Aram told him, “Their gods are mountain gods. That’s why they were stronger than we were. But when we fight them on the plains, we’re certain to be the stronger army! ²⁴ So do this: remove the kings from command^[a] and replace them with captains. ²⁵ Then replace the army that you lost, horse-for-horse and chariot-for-chariot. We’ll fight them on the plains, and we’re certain to be the stronger army.” Ben-hadad^[b] listened to what they had to say and carried out their advice.
