20* As for Ben-haʹdad+ the king of Syria, he collected all his military forces together and also thirty-two kings with him+ and horses+ and chariots,+ and he proceeded to go up and lay siege+ to Sa·marʹi·a+ and fight against it.

34 [Ben-haʹdad] now said to him: “The cities+ that my father took from your father I shall return; and streets you will assign to yourself in Damascus the same as my father assigned in Sa·marʹi·a.”

“And as for me, in a covenant+ I shall send you away.”

With that he concluded a covenant with him and sent him away.

31 As for the king of Syria, he had commanded the thirty-two chiefs+ of the chariots that were his, saying: “YOU must fight, neither with the small nor the great, but with the king of Israel alone.”+
