And the messengers came again and said, So says Ben-hadad, saying, Sending I sent to you, saying, Your silver and your gold and your wives and your sons you shall give to me;
And Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house, and gave them into his servants’ hand; and King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and your servants’ houses; and it shall be that whatever is pleasing in your eyes, they will put it in their hand and take it away.
