1 Kings 20:2-6

2
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,
3
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
4
And the king of Israel answered and said, It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king; I am thine, and all that I have.
5
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, I sent indeed unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
6
but I will send my servants unto thee to-morrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
