1 Kings 20:9-11
Living Bible
9 So he told the messengers from Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘I will give you everything you asked for the first time, but your men may not search the palace and the homes of the people.’”[a] So the messengers returned to Ben-hadad.
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!”
