1 Kings 20:19

New English Translation

They marched out of the city with the servants of the district governors in the lead and the army behind them.

See the chapter Copy

The servants of the district governors led the march. When Ben Hadad sent messengers, they reported back to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.”

He ordered, “Whether they come in peace or to do battle, take them alive.”

Each one struck down an enemy soldier; the Syrians fled and Israel chased them. King Ben Hadad of Syria escaped on horseback with some horsemen.

So Joab and his men marched toward the Arameans to do battle, and they fled before him.
