1 Kings 20:10-12

Living Bible

¹⁰ Then the Syrian king sent this message to Ahab: “May the gods do more to me than I am going to do to you if I don’t turn Samaria into handfuls of dust!”

¹¹ The king of Israel retorted, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch!”

¹² This reply of Ahab’s reached Ben-hadad and the other kings as they were drinking in their tents.

“Prepare to attack!” Ben-hadad commanded his officers.
