Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ And Achab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the Lord, By the younger sons of the chiefs of the communities. Then Achab said, Who shall begin the battle? And he said, Thou. ¹⁵ Upon this Achab reviewed the younger sons of the chiefs of the com 16 munities and they were two hundred and thirty. And after that he reviewed all the people of the army, seven thousand, and marched out at noon day. ¹⁶ Now Son Ader was revelling at Sokkoth, he and the kings, the thirty two kings his auxiliaries. ¹⁷ And when the younger sons of the chiefs of the communities first marched out, messengers were sent who told the king of Syria and said, There are men coming out of Samaria. ¹⁸ Whereupon he said to them, If they come out for peace, take them alive; or if they come out for battle take them alive and let them not get away out of the city. ¹⁹ The younger sons of the chiefs of the communities and the army that followed them had now smitten every one his man. ²⁰ And when they repeated this, every one slaying his second man, Syria fled and Israel pursued them, And Son Ader king of Syria escaped on the horse of a cavalier. ²¹ And the king of Israel went out and took all the horses and the chariots. And when he had smitten Syria with great slaughter ²² the prophet came to the king of Israel and said, Strengthen thyself and consider and see what thou art to do. For at the return of the year Son Ader king of Syria will come up against thee.
