Twelve H8147 H6240 years H8141 they served H5647 Chedorlaomer, H3540 and in the thirteenth H7969 H6240 year H8141 they rebelled. H4775

And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

And they said H559 to him, From a very H3966 far H7350 country H776 your servants H5650 are come H935 because of the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 your God: H430 for we have heard H8085 the fame H8089 of him, and all H3605 that he did H6213 in Egypt, H4714

Why our elders H2205 and all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of our country H776 spoke H559 to us, saying, H559 Take H3947 victuals H6720 with you for the journey, H1870 and go H3212 to meet H7125 them, and say H559 to them, We are your servants: H5650 therefore now H6258 make H3772 you a league H1285 with us.

And when all H3605 the kings H4428 that were servants H5650 to Hadarezer H1928 saw H7200 that they were smitten H5062 before H6440 Israel, H3478 they made peace H7999 with Israel, H3478 and served H5647 them. So the Syrians H758 feared H3372 to help H3467 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 any more. H5750

And Benhadad H1130 the king H4428 of Syria H758 gathered H6908 all H3605 his host H2428 together: and there were thirty H7970 and two H8147 kings H4428 with him, and horses, H5483 and chariots; H7393 and he went H5927 up and besieged H6696 Samaria, H8111 and warred H3898 against it.

And it came H1961 to pass, when Ben-hadad heard H8085 this H2088 message, H1697 as he was drinking, H8354 he and the kings H4428 in the pavilions, H5521 that he said H559 to his servants, H5650 Set H7760 yourselves in array. And they set H7760 themselves in array against H5921 the city. H5892

For you have girded H247 me with strength H2428 to the battle: H4421 you have subdued H3766 under H8478 me those that rose H6965 up against me.

As soon as they hear H8085 of me, they shall obey H8085 me: the strangers H1121 H5236 shall submit H3584 themselves to me.

For he said, H559 Are not my princes H8269 altogether H3162 kings? H4428

And the fame H8034 of David H1732 went H3318 out into all H3605 lands; H776 and the LORD H3068 brought H5414 the fear H6343 of him on all H3605 nations. H1471

God H430 is known H3045 in her palaces H759 for a refuge. H4869

They saw H7200 it, and so H3651 they marveled; H8539 they were troubled, H926 and hurried H2648 away.
