1 Kings 20:33-35
New American Standard Bible
33 Now the men took this as a good omen, and quickly [a]accepting it from him, they said, “Your brother Ben-hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he had him mount the chariot. 34 And Ben-hadad said to him, “(A)The cities which my father took from your father I will restore, and you can make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” Ahab said, “And I will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
35 Now a man from (B)the sons of the prophets said to [b]another (C)by the word of the Lord, “Please strike me.” But the man refused to strike him.

“Go and get him,” the king said. When Ben-Hadad came out, Ahab had him come up into his chariot.
34 “I will return the cities(A) my father took from your father,” Ben-Hadad(B) offered. “You may set up your own market areas(C) in Damascus,(D) as my father did in Samaria.”
