And he sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, By the seruants of the princes of the prouinces. He sayde againe, Who shall order the battel? And he answered, Thou. 15 Then he nombred the seruantes of the princes of the prouinces, and they were two hundreth, two and thirtie: and after them he nombred the whole people of all the children of Israel, euen seuen thousand. 16 And they went out at noone: but Ben-hadad did drinke till he was drunken in the tentes, both he and the Kings: for two and thirtie Kings helped him. 17 So the seruants of the princes of the prouinces went out first: and Ben-hadad sent out, & they shewed him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria. 18 And he sayde, Whether they be come out for peace, take them aliue: or whether they bee come out to fight, take them yet aliue. 19 So they came out of the citie, to wit, the seruants of the princes of the prouinces, and the hoste which followed them. 20 And they slew euery one his enemie: and the Aramites fled, and Israel pursued them: but Ben-hadad ye King of Aram escaped on an horse with his horsemen. 21 And the King of Israel went out, & smote the horses and charets, and with a great slaughter slew he the Aramites.
