1 Kings 20:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ All the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen to him or consent to his demands.”

⁹ Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Tell my lord the king: I will comply with the first request of your servant, but this thing I will not do.” And the messengers departed and brought him word again.

¹⁰ Then Ben-Hadad sent messengers to him and said, “The gods do to me and then some if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”
