1 Kings 21:28

Brenton's Septuagint

And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel is a God of the hills, and he is not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into thy hand, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Contextual Overview

¹⁷ And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria. ¹⁸ And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive: ¹⁹ and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them ²⁰ smote each one the man next to him; and each one a second time smote the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, even the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman. ²¹ And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and smote the enemy with a great slaughter in Syria. ²² And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen thyself, and observe, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against thee. ²³ And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel is a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them. ²⁴ And do thou this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead. ²⁵ And we will give thee another army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so. ²⁶ And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
