1 Kings 20:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ King Ahab answered, “Tell King Benhadad that a real soldier does his bragging after a battle, not before it.”

¹² Benhadad received Ahab's answer as he and his allies, the other rulers, were drinking in their tents. He ordered his men to get ready to attack the city, and so they moved into position.

¹³ Meanwhile, a prophet went to King Ahab and said, “The Lord says, ‘Don't be afraid of that huge army! I will give you victory over it today, and you will know that I am the Lord.’”
