Ben-Hadad Beaten 1 Kings 20 Chew the Bible Season 3
King Ben-Hadad of Aram gathers a massive army with thirty-two allied kings and demands King Ahab of Israel surrender his silver, gold, wives, and children. At first Ahab agrees, but when Ben-Hadad demands even more, Ahab refuses. A prophet tells Ahab that God will deliver victory to show that He is the Lord.
Israel’s small army defeats the Arameans twice—once in the hills and later in the plains, proving God’s power isn’t limited to one place. Ben-Hadad eventually flees, and his servants advise him to beg Ahab for mercy. Ahab spares Ben-Hadad and makes a treaty instead of carrying out God’s judgment. Because of this disobedience, a prophet tells Ahab that his life will be taken in place of Ben-Hadad’s, and his people in place of Ben-Hadad’s people. Ahab returns home angry and sullen.
