1 Kings 20:31-33

Legacy Standard Bible

^31 (A)Then his servants said to him, “Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are kings of lovingkindness, please let us ^(B)put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will preserve your ^[a]life.” ³² So ^(C)they girded sackcloth on their loins and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, “^(D)Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” And he said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.” ³³ Now the men interpreted this as an omen, and hastily ^[b]catching his word said, “Your brother Ben-hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he ^[c]took him up into the chariot.
