Tell Ben Hadad, ‘No one who is just putting on his armor … as if he were taking it off.’
(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered king Yisrael and=he/it_said tell not boast puts_on_armor like,takes_~_off )
This is an expression to give advice. “Putting on armor” is metonymy for getting prepared for battle. “Tell Ben Hadad, ‘Do not boast as if you have already won a battle that you have not yet fought.’” (See also: figs-metonymy)
20:10-11 Ben-hadad’s third delegation delivered an ultimatum: Surrender or die. His caustic threat to thoroughly plunder Samaria was reinforced with a curse, an example of the psychological warfare often practiced in the ancient Near East (see 2 Kgs 18:19-35).
• Ahab’s third reply to Ben-hadad contained proverbial wisdom. The outcome of the conflict was not yet sealed.
