1 Kings 20:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ The king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land. “See how this man is looking for trouble. When he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, I did not refuse him.”

⁸ All the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen and do not agree to this!”

⁹ So he told Ben Hadad’s messengers, “Say this to your lord the king. Everything which you demanded of your servant the first time, I will do, but this thing I cannot do.” So the messengers brought his message back to the king.
