1 Kings 20:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ The young officers from the provinces went out first. Ben-hadad sent out men who told him, “The men from Samaria are advancing.” ¹⁸ He said, “If they are coming out to make peace, take them alive, and even if they have come out to fight, take them alive.”

¹⁹ And so the young officers from the provinces came out from the city, and the army followed after them.
