New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Understand clearly what you must do, for at the turning of the year[a] the king of Aram will attack you.” 23 Meanwhile the servants of the king of Aram said to him: “Their gods are mountain gods. That is why they defeated us. But if we fight them on level ground, we shall be sure to defeat them.
