1 Kings 20:29-31

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ They camped opposite each other for seven days. On the seventh day,^(A) the battle took place, and the Israelites struck down the Arameans—100,000 foot soldiers in one day. ³⁰ The ones who remained fled into the city of Aphek, and the wall fell on those 27,000 remaining men.

Ben-hadad also fled and went into an inner room^(B) in the city. ³¹ His servants said to him, “Consider this: we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. So let’s put sackcloth around our waists^(C) and ropes around our heads, and let’s go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your life.”
