1 Kings 20:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Then the messengers came to Ahab again. They said, “Ben-Hadad says, ‘I told you before that you must give me your silver and gold, your wives and your children. ⁶ About this time tomorrow I will send my ·men [officials; servants], who will search everywhere in your ·palace [^Lhouse] and in the homes of your ·officers [officials; servants]. Whatever ·they want [or you value] they will take and carry off.’”

⁷ Then Ahab called a meeting of all the elders of his country. He said, “Ben-Hadad is looking for trouble. First he said I had to give him my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I have not refused him.”
