1 Kings 20:23-28

1 Kings 20:23-28 NCV

Meanwhile the officers of Ben-Hadad king of Aram said to him, “The gods of Israel are mountain gods. Since we fought in a mountain area, Israel won. Let’s fight them on the flat land, and then we will win. This is what you should do. Don’t allow the thirty-two rulers to command the armies, but put other commanders in their places. Gather an army like the one that was destroyed and as many horses and chariots as before. We will fight the Israelites on flat land, and then we will win.” Ben-Hadad agreed with their advice and did what they said. The next spring Ben-Hadad gathered the army of Aram and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel. The Israelites also had prepared for war. They marched out to meet the Arameans and camped opposite them. The Israelites looked like two small flocks of goats, but the Arameans covered the area. A man of God came to the king of Israel with this message: “The LORD says, ‘The people of Aram say that I, the LORD, am a god of the mountains, not a god of the valleys. So I will allow you to defeat this huge army, and then you will know I am the LORD.’ ”
