23 So he prepared a great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The Aramean raiders(B) did not come into Israel’s land again.
24 Some time later, King Ben-hadad(C) of Aram brought all his military units together and marched up to besiege Samaria.
