1 Kings 20:26 (BSB)
Context Reading
24So do this: Dismiss all the kings from their positions and replace them with other officers. 25And you must raise an army like the one you have lost — horse for horse and chariot for chariot — so we can fight the Israelites on the plain, where we will surely prevail.” And the king approved their plan and acted accordingly. 26In the spring, Ben-hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel. 27The Israelites also mobilized, gathered supplies, and marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped before them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside. 28Then the man of God approached the king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans have said that the LORD is a god of the hills and not of the valleys, I will deliver all this great army into your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
