let us fight … we will be stronger
(Some words not found in UHB: and,servants king ʼArām said to=him/it gods hills gods,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so stronger from=him/it and,instead fight with=them in/on/at/with,plain if not stronger than,they )
The words “us” and “we” refer to the servants, the king, and the army all together.
20:23 The reasoning that Israel had gods of the hills set the stage for the Lord to show his true identity (20:28). Ben-hadad’s officers had a pagan religious outlook. Perhaps their erroneous view was fostered by traditional knowledge of the Lord’s appearance to Israel on Mount Sinai (Exod 19:1-3, 16-18) or of Israel’s long-term settlement of the hill country of Canaan (see Josh 10:40; 11:16; Judg 1:19). The Arameans were not aware that God is the Creator and Lord of all the earth (Isa 40:28; 54:5), the only God who alone can save (Isa 45:5, 22).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
