A prophet comes near to Ahab king of Israel, and the king of Israel kills the Syrians with a great slaughter

한 선지자가 이스라엘 왕 아합에게 나아가고 이스라엘 왕이 아람 사람을 크게 도륙함

1 Kings 20:13–21: a prophet comes near to Ahab king of Israel, and says, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’” Ahab says, “By whom?” He says, “The LORD says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he says, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answers, “You.” Then he musters the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they are two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he musters all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand. They go out at noon. But Ben Hadad is drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him. The young men of the princes of the provinces go out first; and Ben Hadad sends out, and they tell him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.” He says, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.” So these go out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them. They each kill his man. The Syrians flee, and Israel pursues them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escapes on a horse with horsemen. The king of Israel goes out and strikes the horses and chariots, and kills the Syrians with a great slaughter. The Korean Revised Version names Ahab where WEB has “Then he said” at 20:14 and “Then he mustered” at 20:15 (아합이 가로되 누가 싸움을 시작하리이까; 아합이 이에 … 계수하니).
