2 Kings 6:22-24
Complete Jewish Bible
22 He answered, “Don’t attack them! You wouldn’t even attack prisoners you had captured with your own sword and bow, would you? So give them food to eat and water to drink, and let them return to their master.” 23 So he provided well for them; and after they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away; and they returned to their master. After that, no more raiding parties entered the land of Isra’el from Aram.
24 But some time afterwards, Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathered all his army, went up and laid siege to Shomron.
