1 Kings 20:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ So Ahab sent for the junior officers who were under the area commanders. The total number of officers was 232. Ahab gathered together the rest of the Israelites. The total number of them was 7,000. ¹⁶ They started out at noon. At that time Ben-Hadad and the 32 kings helping him were in their tents. They were getting drunk. ¹⁷ The junior officers who were under Ahab’s area commanders marched out first.

Ben-Hadad had sent out scouts. They came back and reported, “Men are marching against us from Samaria.”
