1 Kings 20:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, “Please know and see how this man is bent on evil! For he sent someone to me for my wives, my children, my silver and my gold, and I didn’t refuse him.”

⁸ All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen to him or consent.”

⁹ So he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Tell my lord the king: All that you sent to your servant at first, I will do, but this thing I cannot do,” The messengers departed and reported to him.
