1 Kings 20:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Later the messengers came back to Ahab with another demand from Benhadad: “I sent you word that you were to hand over to me your silver and gold, your women and your children. ⁶ Now, however, I will send my officers to search your palace and the homes of your officials, and to take everything they^[a] consider valuable. They will be there about this time tomorrow.”

⁷ King Ahab called in all the leaders of the country and said, “You see that this man wants to ruin us. He sent me a message demanding my wives and children, my silver and gold, and I agreed.”
