1 Kings 20:31-32

New American Standard Bible

³¹ But ^(A)his servants said to him, “Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let’s ^(B)put sackcloth ^[a]around our waists and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will let ^[b]you live.” ³² So ^(C)they put sackcloth ^[c]around their waists and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, “^(D)Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please let ^[d]me live.’” And Ahab said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
