1 Kings 20:21-23
Christian Standard Bible
21 Then the king of Israel marched out and attacked the cavalry and the chariots. He inflicted a severe slaughter on Aram.
22 The prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him, “Go and strengthen yourself, then consider carefully[a] what you should do, for in the spring(A) the king of Aram will attack you.”
23 Now the king of Aram’s servants said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hill country.(B) That’s why they were stronger than we were. Instead, we should fight with them on the plain; then we will certainly be stronger than they are.
