1 Kings 20:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ ·The next spring [^LAt the turn of the year] Ben-Hadad ·gathered [mustered] the army of Aram and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

²⁷ The ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] also had ·prepared for war [mustered and gathered provisions]. They marched out to meet the Arameans and camped opposite them. The Israelites looked like two small flocks of goats, but the Arameans covered the ·area [countryside].

²⁸ A man of God came to the king of Israel with this message: “·The Lord says [^TThus says the Lord], ‘The people of Aram say that I, the Lord, am a god of the mountains, not a god of the ·valleys [plains]. So I will ·allow you to defeat this huge army [^Lgive this great multitude into your hands], and then you will know I am the Lord.’”
