1 Kings 20:7-9

Complete Jewish Bible

⁷ Then the king of Isra’el summoned all the leaders of the land and said, “Please take notice! Do you see how this man is trying to make trouble? First he demanded my wives, children, silver and gold; and I denied him nothing.” ⁸ All the leaders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t agree.” ⁹ So he said to Ben-Hadad’s messengers, “Tell my lord the king, ‘I will do all that you asked of me the first time, but this I cannot do.” The messengers left and brought word back to him.
