1 Kings 20:19

New King James Version

Then these young leaders of the provinces went out of the city with the army which followed them.

See the chapter Copy

So he said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; and if they have come out for war, take them alive.”

And each one killed his man; so the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the cavalry.

The young leaders of the provinces went out first. And Ben-Hadad sent out a patrol, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out of Samaria!”

So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
