And the messengers departed, and brought aunswere againe. 10 And Benhadad sent vnto him againe, and sayde: Thus and thus do the gods vnto me, if the dust of Samaria be enough for al the people that folowe me, to take euery man an handfull.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thy silver and thy gold is mine,.... Not of right, but reckoning it as good as in his hands, Ahab not being able to resist him:
and thy wives also; for it seems he had more than Jezebel:
and thy children; which were many, for he had no less than seventy sons, 2 Kings 10:1,
even the goodliest are mine: some aggravate this, as if his view was to commit the unnatural sin with his male children, when in his possession.
