1 Kings 20:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-Hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first time, that I will do, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him an answer.
10 And Ben-Hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so to me and more also, if the [a]dust of Samaria be enough to all the people that follow me, for every man an handful.
11 And the king of Israel answered, and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth his harness, boast himself, as he that [b]putteth it off.
