Ahab Spares Ben-hadad
31 Then the servants of [Ben-hadad] said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful Let us go out to the king of Israel [with] sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life.”
32 So [with] sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please spare my life.’ ” And [the king] answered, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
33 Now the men were looking for a sign of hope, and they quickly grasped [at this word] and replied, “Yes, your brother Ben-hadad.” “Go and get him!” said [the king]. Then Ben-hadad came out and Ahab had him come up into his chariot.
34 Ben-hadad said to him, “I will restore the cities my father took from your father; you may set up your own marketplaces in Damascus, as my father [did] in Samaria.” “By this treaty[fn] I release you ,” [Ahab replied]. So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.
20:34 Forms of the Hebrew berit are translated in most passages as covenant; twice in this verse.
