Bible Verses About Ambassadors: Ben-Hadad to Ahab

Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel,

saying, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘Your silver and gold are mine, and your best wives and children are mine!’”

And the king of Israel replied, “Just as you say, my lord the king: I am yours, along with all that I have.”

The messengers came back and said, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have sent to you to demand your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.

But about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to search your palace and the houses of your servants. They will seize and carry away all that is precious to you.’”
