SCRIPTURE

"but I will send my servants unto thee to-morrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away." — 1 Kings 20:6 (ASV)

Ben-hadad, disappointed by Ahab’s consent to an indignity that he thought no monarch could endure, proceeds to reinterpret his former demands.
