Bible Verses About Syria: Under Ahab encouraged and assisted by God, overcame

Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”

Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “Thus says the LORD, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”

Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was 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 went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”

He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”

So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.

They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
