1 Kings 20:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁸ Then all the elders and all the people said to him, ‘Do not listen or consent.’ ⁹ So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, ‘Tell my lord the king: All that you first demanded of your servant I will do; but this thing I cannot do.’ The messengers left and brought him word again. ¹⁰ Ben-hadad sent to him and said, ‘The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will provide a handful for each of the people who follow me.’
